Razor® - Cut Through The Mix™

Like a sleeping dragon, Razor has been quietly crafting exceptional guitar and bass pickups in Japan since 1996.  Originally conceived to provide players with high-quality upgrade options, the emphasis was always on quality and consistency vs. hype and promotion.  Designed in Texas and manufactured in Japan, the brand uniquely combines an American understanding of “tone” with exceptional MIJ production standards.  Today, the dragon is awake, and ready to rule the oceans of tone.  Fine as a razor’s edge, your tone will cut through the mix!

  • "Razor Pickups were an easy first choice for our “Standard” line of guitars. The value of these pickups just can’t be beat. Being designed in Houston TX and expertly crafted in Japan, there is nothing missing from these pickups. From a builder’s viewpoint, the construction and materials used are excellent. Tonally, it’s all there. Exceptional clarity throughout the whole range, and with plenty of flavors of each model, you can get the exact tone you’re looking for with Razor Pickups."

  • "When it came time to choose a pickup to provide in my custom guitars, The biggest factor was always tone... Razor pickups provide an amazing boutique, tonal quality with all of the pickups in the line, from the ultra hot "screambuckers" to the milder PAF Style "creambuckers," as a manufacturer, I can stand behind that. Add in the amazing quality control, price, and customer support through Allparts, I knew instantly that these were the pickups that would come stock in Riley Guitars."
