Fender Stratocaster Loaded Pickguard with Custom Hand Wound SRV Number One #1 Tribute Pickups form Migas Touch Pickups. The pickguard was pulled from a genuine Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster. We removed the pickups and installed a set of Custom Hand Wound Number One Tribute Pickups from Migas Touch.

These pickups are heavy formvar and can be on the squeaky clean/bright side so this helps mellow them down some. Even though the vintage Fender pickups are more mellow sounding than new pickups, some of the better preserved ones can still be pretty bright.

From the vulcanized fiber flat work, Alnico V Magnets that are aged and hand beveled with the same stagger as used by Fender for the Stratocaster in 1959. With the Heavy Formvar. Copper foil wrapping and grounding which acts as a shorter turn which clips off the treble. Everything about these pickups is as correct as can be made and replicate the pickups in The famous Number One Strat. Stevie would keep these pickups low, close to the pickguard and had a high action using heavier strings. With a low gain amp and cranking it up in combination with these pickups is how Stevie pulled the amazing tones from his guitar. These are the real deal and I did not use other methods to try and replicate his sound like many others do but using same components to come as close as possible to match the pickups he used.
