201 – Heritage Strat
Price range: $80.00 through $225.00
Low-output vintage Strat clarity. Built for dynamics and classic pre-CBS heritage tones.
The 201 Heritage Strat is inspired by the earliest pre-CBS Strat tones developed by Leo Fender in the 1950s. Using low winds and Alnico 2 magnets, these pickups deliver maximum clarity and a glassy top end.
These pickups stay dynamic and responsive under your hands. The bass is tight and woody, the mids are gently scooped, and the highs are smooth and pleasant. Chords ring with piano-like separation, and when pushed into overdrive, they remain articulate instead of compressing.
Perfect for:
- Surf, country, early blues, ‘disco’ cleans
- Edge of breakup amps
- Pure neck and in between tones
Feel: Light touch, dynamic, articulate
Output: Vintage/Low
Voice: Glassy, scooped, chimey
