How to order

The original Strat sound is here.

Wether you want a 50s original replica, a fat Hendrix sound, a more modern sound or a custom spec set, they're all available.

All pickups for Stratocaster come with 52.2mm string spacing, middle pickup RWRP and vinyl hookup wire as standard unless requested otherwise.

 

Options available:

Flatwork

Choose from original retro grey flatwork or modern black

Magnets

Available in AlNiCo 2,3,4 or 5

Magnet Bevel

Choose from flat, light or heavy bevel

Magnet Diameter

6.35mm, 5mm or 4.75mm

Stagger

Retro staggered poles for vintage fretboard radius or flat for modern guitars

Hookup Wire

Choose from retro waxed cloth or vinyl coated

Covers

For 6.35mm poles - Black or white

For 5mm & 4.45mm poles - Baby Pink, Blue, Chrome, Dark Green, Neon Green, Hot Pink, Ivory, Mint Green, Parchment, Purple, Dark Red, Bright Red, Vintage (Off White), White, Yellow or Black.

Focusing Plates (£10 extra per pickup)

Available in brass or copper plated steel

Overwound

An optional extra to get more gain and punch from your pickup. Gives a slightly darker aggressive tone, great for high gain and distortion.

Loaded Scratchplates £200

Why not opt for the fully loaded scratchplate option? Take the effort out of replacing your pickups and drop in a new scratchplate, loaded with your own custom components.

We use CTS pots and Oak Grigsby switches as standard, just like in the actual Strats!
