Dark Roast Strat Pickup Set — A5, Custom Stagger-Custom Gauss levels

Neck: 6.0k • Middle: 6.1k • Bridge: 6.3k

Hand‑wound, small‑batch Strat pickups with a bold, full‑bodied voice.

The Dark Roast set delivers punchy mids, tight lows, and a smooth, rounded top end — perfect for blues, rock, and expressive players who want more authority without losing the Strat sparkle.

Custom stagger and custom gauss ensure balanced string response and a sweet, musical attack.

The Dark Roast Strat set is my take on a vintage‑hot recipe — bold, warm, and full‑bodied, but still unmistakably Strat.

A5 magnets give you tight lows and clear highs, while the custom stagger and custom gauss dial in the feel so every string speaks evenly.

The 6.3k bridge has enough push to stand up in a mix, delivering a vocal midrange and a smooth, rounded top that stays musical even under gain. It’s punchy without being harsh, expressive without being brittle, and has the kind of authority players expect from a hotter bridge.

The 6.1k middle keeps the set honest and open, with classic Strat quack in positions 2 and 4, clear, balanced, and responsive.

The 6.0k neck is round, expressive, and sweet. It delivers warm cleans, singing lead lines, and a vintage chime without ever getting muddy or glassy.

If you love the feel of a slightly hotter Strat pickup but want a smoother top and a more vocal midrange, the Dark Roast set hits that sweet spot. It’s bold, musical, and built for players who want their Strat to feel alive under the fingers.

• "All of our pickups are wound to specific turns counts, TPL, tension etc... DCR may be higher, may be lower. I don't base the output on DCR. Temperature will cause DCR to go up or down.

 I don’t use fancy packaging to keep my costs lower and to offer you a better price for a real Hand wound pickup, not a factory made unit that is turned out by the thousands every day. There’s nothing unique about that.
