Northern Pickups

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.

​

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!
