Vintage 50s Strat tone, hand-wound in small batches. Open, airy, bell-like pickups with classic 50s dynamics and clarity. Built and gig-tested by me in NSW. Drop-in for most modern Strats. Available in multiple pickguard and hardware colour options see photos or message me. I hand-wind every coil myself in small batches, chasing the clean, airy, bell-like Strat tone I’ve always loved. I gig regularly with the same pickups and pickguards I sell, and I’m constantly refining my Strat builds. This isn’t a kit of cheap parts. It’s a carefully built, short-run piece of gear, made one at a time with attention to detail and tone. Tone & Feel (50s-inspired). Bright but soft, never harsh. Highly dynamic and responsive. Tight in the bass, with fast attack. They’re low-output and expressive, rewarding touch and volume-knob control classic Strat behaviour. If you’re after clarity, definition, and character, something that doesn’t sound mass-produced: this is it. Vintage Fender-style wiring (modern hookup wire). Vintage 50s output: approx. 6.3k? Bridge, 5.6k? Middle / neck. 42 AWG magnet wire (Elektrisola or Remington). Alnico 5 staggered rod magnets. CTS 250k audio taper pots (dish-back). Fully assembled and tested. If you’re after classic 50s Strat tone with clarity, dynamics, and character, without the feel of mass-produced parts, this is built for you. Check the photos and specs, and feel free to message me if you have questions or want to discuss a variation.
