Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, particularly the bridge pickup, offering more output and a slightly more aggressive tone, though still retaining that characteristic Strat clarity.
It’s designed for standard 11-hole Strat pickguards, but vintage Strats sometimes have subtle variations; double-check your pickguard’s hole spacing before ordering.
It means the middle pickup's winding direction is reversed compared to the others, which helps cancel hum and provides a more balanced output with the bridge pickup.
