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:

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