Designed to bring out the natural character of a Strat, this set has more attack and definition than softer vintage-style pickups, while keeping the top end smooth and controlled. With a moderate output, it stays articulate across all positions and responds cleanly to your playing, whether you’re picking lightly or digging in.

This small run of pickups is something I'm really proud of. I hand-make and hand-wind every set myself, one at a time, the same way I build the pickups I gig with.

These are genuinely hand-made and hand-wound, not simply assembled from machine-wound coils. Guiding the wire by hand lets me control the winding pattern and scatter in a way that gives these pickups their open, responsive character. I make them in small runs and sell them direct, so you get the kind of construction normally associated with much more expensive boutique pickups without the boutique price tag.

If you're after something responsive, dynamic and a little vintage, you're in the right place.

I build them because I love this stuff. I play them. And I only sell sets I'd happily put in my own guitars.
