These vintage Stratocaster pickups are inspired by the earliest pre-CBS Strat tones developed by Leo Fender in the 1950s. Using low winds, heavy formvar wire, and Alnico II magnets, these pickups deliver maximum clarity and a glassy top end. Notes respond instantly to picking dynamic and stay 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
