Developed in collaboration with Jamie West-Oram of The Fixx, the Eternal Fixxer S-Style Pickup Set was designed to deliver the perfect blend of clarity, presence and vintage-inspired warmth — tailored to Jamie’s signature stereo chorus tones and expressive playing style.
Originally installed in Jamie’s early-’60s-style Stratocaster® guitar, these pickups were developed to add just the right amount of extra punch and tonal weight while preserving the articulate highs and open mids essential to his sound.
Whether you’re chasing his shimmering textures or shaping your own voice, the Fixxer set delivers a beautifully balanced and musical response.
A Refined Take on Classic Early-’60s Strat Tone
The design began with the foundation of our Timeless ’60s S-Style pickups, known for their sweet highs, balanced mids and dynamic response.
From there we carefully adjusted magnet height, coil winds and overall voicing to create a set with slightly boosted output in the neck and bridge positions, while keeping the middle pickup wound closer to vintage specification.
This approach preserves clarity in the in-between positions, maintaining the unmistakable Strat® “quack” while adding extra punch and presence where it matters most.
Artist-Approved Design
Jamie’s reaction said it all. His original plan was to keep the Fixxer pickups mounted on a spare pickguard, but once he heard them in action they became the permanent voice of his main guitar.
Now that same carefully refined tone is available to players seeking articulate cleans, layered modulation textures and expressive lead tones.
