Frequently Asked Questions
While they replicate the '69 sound profile well, they're assembled on a pickguard, which can slightly alter the overall tone compared to individually wound and potted pickups.
It's designed for standard Stratocaster routing, but older or non-Fender Strats might require minor adjustments to ensure proper fit and shielding.
The staggered poles help even out the string response, especially on the lower strings, improving clarity and reducing muddiness—a common issue with vintage-style pickups.
