These Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot ST-Standard pickups are a fantastic upgrade for Strat players chasing that late '50s to early '60s Fender vibe. They've got a lively, open tone with plenty of character and headroom for pedals, and the hand-wound construction really shines through. Perfect for blues, rock, and country players wanting a touch more output than truly vintage pickups without sacrificing that classic chime.

Product Description

Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot ST-Standard Set, Pickup

  • Lindy's strat pickups are exact copies of the Fender pickups of the late 50's and early 60's. The pickups sound very open and lively and support the sound spectrum of your guitar
  • without depriving them of their peculiarities
  • even in connection with high-gain amplifier circuits. Like all Fralin pickups
  • they are wound by hand. You use the same high-quality materials as then: Vintage hot ST standard model
  • Black bobbin
  • 42 gauge Formvar (orange) wire
  • Alnico 5 magnets
  • Magnets by 1955 specifications
  • Cut to size pickup cable per installation position
  • Output Power: 6- 7 K
  • Colour: Vintage White

*There are some small improvements:*

  • The individual cartridges are designed for the corresponding position wound (bridge - mid - neck). Therefore
  • you get a very balanced volume ratio.
  • The middle pickup is wound with "reverse polarity"
  • which causes the usual humming problem of single coils to be suppressed in the intermediate positions.
  • All Fralin pickups are much better than the waxed old Fender pickups. This makes them not whistle
  • even at high volume.
PROS
  • • Hand-wound construction ensures exceptional consistency and tonal nuance.
  • • Alnico 5 magnets deliver a classic, articulate Fender-style tone.
  • • 42 gauge Formvar wire contributes to a brighter, more responsive output.
  • • Position-specific winding optimizes performance for bridge, middle, and neck.
CONS
  • • Higher output than truly vintage specs might not suit all players.
  • • Premium-priced, representing a significant investment for some guitarists.
  • • Black bobbin aesthetic might not appeal to players seeking a more traditional look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fralin pickups generally offer more consistency and a slightly hotter output than Fender's reissues, with a more refined dynamic response.
Yes, they should fit without issue, as they use the standard Stratocaster pickup spacing and mounting holes, but check your guitar’s specific routing for clearance.
These pickups are typically not potted, which contributes to a more open and airy tone, but can also make them slightly more susceptible to microphonic feedback at high volumes.
