Vintage Staggered for Strat
SSL-1 -- An exact replica of the original Alnico V Stratocaster® pickups. The same type
of magnet wire is used, as well as the same number of coil windings. The staggered rod
magnets are hand-ground, then aged by the exclusive Dun-Aged™ process, lacquered
bobbins and cloth braid hook-up wire complete the vintage look. Every detail is included
to duplicate the bell-like tone and the high end bite that made the vintage Strat famous.
Available in left-handed version
Quarter-Pound™
for Strat
SSL-4 -- More than double the power of a stock pickup. You get a fat, punchy sound, clean
at lower volumes and high output when cranked. Lead playing with this pickup easily cuts
above a humbucker. The hand polished, quarter-inch wide magnets are matched with a
powerful coil winding to deliver great sustain.
Available RW/RP
Hot
Rails™ for Strat
SHR-1 -- Hot Rails™ are one of the highest output pickups we make. It's a humbucker
that fits into a normal single coil slot, so you get the noise canceling effect without
cutting a large hole in your guitar. The two thin blades with powerful coil windings give
you the incredible sustain and a fat, full sound that's needed for playing heavier rock
music. This pickup responds to the sublest finger movements.
Available in black or white
Vintage
Flat for Strat
SSL-2 -- The Vintage Flat utilizes a vintage coil design with rod magnets of equal length
which are slightly raised above the flatwork. This provides a balanced field necessary for
an even string response. The sound is warm with midrange presence. Lacquered and cloth
braid wire complete the vintage look.
Available RW/RP
Custom
Staggered for Strat
SSL-5 -- These are the Seymourized™ versions. They look like the SSL-1 and have the
distinct vintage tone. However, the stronger magnetic field and custom coil give you
higher output, more sustain, and great harmonics.
Available in tapped and left-handed versions
Cool
Rails™ for Strat
SCR-1 -- Created by popular demand from players, Cool Rails™ use the same twin coil
design as our Hot Rails™, but are wound to produce a clear, bright, dynamic sound.
Hotter and louder than both the Vintage Staggered (SSL-1) Hot Stack® (STK-S2) pickups,
Cool Rails are for players who need a loud, punchy single coil sound for stage work. Cool
Rails are great on their own and also make an excellent match on a guitar with a hot
humbucker in the bridge position.
Available in black or white
Alnico II Pro™,
Staggered
APS-1 -- Alnico II magnets are the musical magnets. Their softer magnetic field provides a
warmer, sweeter tone and eliminates the brittle, glassy sound associated with newer
instruments. The result is a freer, more natural string vibration for greater sustain.
Available in left-handed version
Available reverse wound, reverse polarity (RW/RP)
SSL-6 -- The SSL-6 looks just like the SSL-2, with rod
magnets of equal length which are slightly raised above the flatwork. But this one is
Seymourized™. The custom coil winding gives you extra output with more punch and
longer sustain.
Available in tapped and left-handed versions
JB Jr.™ for Strat
SJBJ-1 -- This single-coil-size humbucker gives you the character of a full-size JB.™
model in a direct retrofit for Strat guitars. It has a nice, high output tone that can
rock with the best of 'em, but can also clean up when you roll off the volume. You can
fine tune your string balance with the 12 adjustable poles. It's most commonly used as a
bridge pickup with a pair of Duckbuckers in the neck and middle. U.S. Patent No.
Des-355,207. Available in black or white
Alnico
II Pro™, Flat
APS-2 -- This pickup combines the same coil design as its predecessor, the APS-1, with rod
magnets of equal length raised above the flatwork. The flat magnet pattern provides the
balanced field necessary for an even response using today's strings and flatter neck
radii. The Alnico II magnets' softer magnetic field creates a warmer, smoother sound and
eliminates the brittle, glassy sound associated with new instruments.
Available RW/RP
Vintage
Rails™ for Strat
SVR-1 -- Vintage Rails use a unique split rail, twin coil design and special wiring to
achieve true single coil tone without any hum. The sound is clean, clear and bright, with
all that quack you love in the notch positions. Use them as a complete set or with a Hot
Rails in the bridge for a truly versatile Strat. U.S. Patent number 5,525,750.
Available in black or white
Little '59™ for Strat
SL59-1 -- This little brute was designed to impart all of the warm, smooth tone of an old
1959 Patent Applied For humbucker in a direct replacement, single coil size. It possesses
an even, dynamic response, and its adjustable pole pieces allow the guitarist to fine tune
the string balance and dial in just the right amount of punch. A whole set of Little '59s
will deliver rich, open sound; a bridge Little '59 matched up with Duckbuckers ™ in
the neck and middle will provide a best-of-both-worlds '59 Les Paul ®/'57 Strat ® tone.
U.S. Patent No. Des. 355,207.
Available in black or white
Nashville Studio™ for Strat
SSL52 -- Developed in our Custom Shop for some of the world's top session players, the
Nashville Studio™ for Strat® utilizes alnico V magnets on the three low strings.
This adds more definition and punch to the bottom end. Alnico II magnets on the three high
strings provide a warm and smooth top end without sacrificing tone. The vintage-style
Strat® replacements are medium output. A hotter bridge version and a reverse wound,
reverse polarity version are also available.
Duckbuckers™
for Strat
SDBR-1 -- Such a silly name for such a serious pickup! Using a patented design and a
voicing based on our Vintage Rails™. Duckbuckers offer the advantage of incorporating
six fully adjustable pole pieces. And by using the true hum canceling construction
together with a unique, split blade design, Duckbuckers duplicate all the warm tone, cool
output, and outrageous quack of a vintage Strat® pickup. All quack, no hum. U.S. Patent
No. 5,525,750.
Available in black or white
Lil' Screamin'
Demon™ for Strat
SLSD-1 -- Like its big brother the Screamin' Demon™ humbucker, this lil' savage
combines a big, open sound with just a subtle hint of glass in a direct replacement
humbucker for Strat® guitars. George asked for a pickup that could scream and provide
rich harmonics, but would clean up when he bakced it off. Using a unique slotted and Allen
head screw combination that gives each coil a slightly magnetic field, the tone is big and
percussive without being too harsh. U.S. Patent No. Des-355,207.
Available in black or white
Classic
Stack® for Strat
STK-S1 -- The complex and distinctive sound of the old Stratocaster® guitars was due to
the narrow, sharply focused magnetic field of the single coil pickup. With staggered
magnet heights, our Classic Stack® pickup duplicates this sought after sound. By stacking
two coils on top of each other, the annoying noise and hum of the single coil pickup is
eliminated.
White cover included
Classic LiveWire™
LW-CS1 -- The Classic for Strat® has a traditional, bell-like tone. The high end is
tempered for brilliance, without being harsh. The mids have solid punch and the low end is
ultra-light. It's a very musical sound.
Hot
Stack® for Strat
STK-S2 -- A powerful ceramic magnet surrounded by two Stack® coils sends more current
into your amp. You get long sustain and super string sensitivity combined with the extra
output you need for stage work.
White cover included
Hot
LiveWire™
LW-HS1 -- The Hot model is the highest output pickup we make. Beware! You may have to turn
down the volume to keep this pickup under control. These pickups have a very strong
midrange with more frequency response than any high output pickup. The searing sound
really cuts through when you step up to solo. It's perfect for hot and heavy lightning
leads.
The Parallel Axis™ Stack® for Strat
PA-STK 1 -- Designed as a companion pickup to the Parallel Axis humbucking pickups, it
features a noise canceling single coil Stack® design and tremolo spacing. The sound is
clear and full. Good for clean rhythm or bluesy solo tone. Due to the slightly increased
size of this pickup, some guitar modification may be necessary.
