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 hand-wound Number One Tribute Pickups from Migas Touch. The protective plastic is still on the pickguard. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s pickups were examined in that hotel room autopsy by Fender. Copper foil wrapping and grounding acts as a “shorted turn” which clips off some of the treble. These pickups are wound with heavy formvar wire and can be on the squeaky clean/bright side, so this shielding helps to mellow them down. I did the research when reproducing these pickups using period correct USA made components. From the vulcanized fiber flat work and Alnico V Magnets that are aged and hand beveled with the same stagger as used by Fender for the Stratocaster in 1959. They are wound with heavy formvar. Also the copper foil wrapping and grounding to mellow the treble. Everything about these pickups is as correct as can be made to 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 do not use methods to try and replicate his sound like many others do but instead these use the same components and technique to match the pickups he used. We lacquer seal all of our bobbins for durability then fully wax pot them to avoid microphonic noises and squeals. All of our pickups are hand-wound and scatter-wound. Each of our hand-wound sets are signed and dated. 100% made in the USA. Heavy Formvar 42 wire. Neck and Bridge North Up with the Middle South Up.
