Acid Bath is one of the first and most influential bands in the sludge, doom and hardcore punk metal subgenres. Formed in south Louisiana, the band was initially active from 1991 to 1997. The band recently reformed, however, and the ensuing 2025 national reunion tour is among the hottest concert tickets in hard rock.
The Carondelet Acid Bath pickup set is what Sammy Pierre Duet and Mike Sanchez are using live on tour. The pickup set is best described as fiery medium output, to quickly switch between bone-crushing gain and articulate, cutting cleans.
Sammy's choice is exposed black bobbins and 12 hex-adjustable pole screws. Mike's choice is a traditional polished metal PAF-style cover (in his case, gold) with polished filister-head pole screws.
All cosmetic variants have Acid Bath album cover art on the backplates. The "Kite String" cover ("Pogo") is on the bridge position pickup. The "Paegan" cover is on the neck position pickup.
Polished nickel or raw nickel covers can be substituted at no extra charge. The uncovered set can be spec'ed with an F-spaced bridge pickup.
DELIVERY TIMES: Most Carondelet pickups are wound and assembled by hand, one at a time. Due to speed limitations in the hand-crafted process and overall demand, lead times for Carondelet pickups typically range from two to four weeks.
