Are Greco Screamin 82 pickups good?
The Scream’in 1982 humbuckers. are entry level greco humbuckers… but my word they rip!
The Screamin 82 actually represents a new era for Greco pickups.
The U1000 from last episode was an entry level pickup manufactured by Maxon.
These were found in Grecos right up to the Super Real era, where they made their last stand in the Super Power EG 500 etc
Then the Mint Collection arrives in 1982, signalling an end to the Maxon pickups.
Fujigen takes over manufacturing of pickups and the U1000 disappears from the line up.
It’s replaced by the Screamin 82.
Much like the U1000 it replaced, the Screamin pickups utilised ceramic magnets
According the Japtone Site, resistance is around the 7.65k
So what does it sound like?

Hey Andrew,
Matt here from the Guitar Speak Podcast. Hope you’re doing well!
We first met, when you bought some LTD tuners off me maybe a year ago 🙂
I’ve been digging your Insta stuff and just checked out one of your videos – really great stuff!
Would you be interested in being a guest on the podcast? I’d love to speak to you about MIJ stuff, particularly the ‘golden age’ you seem to be really into.
Here is a bit more info about the show:

The show is audio only, and not ‘live’. I usually record via Zoom, Google meets or similar.
Cheers,
