Description
Smooth and warm – a true vintage tone! You can choose between Alnico 2 and Alnico 3 magnets. You get real nice clean tones with Alnico 2. Alnico 3 gives you a little bit more high end bite. Hotter bridge pickup for a stronger lead tone. Clear and twangy classic Strat sound with transparent highs. Hotter bridge pickup for a stronger lead tone. Thick and powerful classic Strat tone. Bridge pickup is wound hot up to 7.5 k with a special winding technique. These pickups still retain strong highs with the use of heavy Formvar magnet wire. Great for hot blues!

Description
Powerful tone with some P-90 character mixed in. Two big ceramic bar magnets give this pickup a fast attack and punchy highs. The pickup for raw Rock'n'Roll! Two Alnico 5 bar magnets give this pickup a nice warm vintage P-90-style tone. It works great as a Strat lead pickup. Combine this with our 1964 neck and middle pickups and you'll get a very versatile Strat set. n/a
