True single coil tone with staggered Alnico 5 poles and cloth covered hook-up wire. With all the power of some others ‘hot’ strat pickups but without the brittle top end inherent in most designs, they are great for country, classic rock, blues and pop – in fact anything where you want a rich, warm, loud Strat pickup. They even retail clarity at lower volumes, back off the tone and you get detail without muddiness.
