This Psychedelic ST Neck pickup nails that late-60s Fender vibe – think clean, glassy tones with a scooped midrange. It’s a great choice for players wanting a vintage Strat sound, particularly for clean playing or lighter overdrive, and it’s a surprisingly affordable way to get there. Just be aware it’s not a high-output screamer.
