Tone Characteristics

These pickups are designed to replicate the tone of early 1960s pre-CBS Stratocasters (1961).

Typical tonal qualities:

  • Bright but smooth and sweet
  • Classic vintage Strat “chime”
  • Very clear and articulate
  • Slightly hotter bridge pickup for better balance
  • Strong spank and definition in clean tones

They work especially well for:

  • Blues
  • Funk
  • Vintage rock
  • Pop
  • Clean or lightly overdriven tones

Many players compare their character to tones associated with players like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and John Mayer.
