RustGL Standard Strat Pickguard Loaded and ready to Rock. Hand made with love and care for the guitar tone from best Hi End Audio materials. Sound Tests on YouTube. Please type and search? Depending on your budget and view I have 3 Strat Pickguard Models. The materials are standard but I can offer thin silver plated wire which will give you? 15% to the sound. At that, they are very balanced between each other. I have implemented some innovations and unique technology in making this model. Natural bee waxing, copper foil tape shielding around pickups, Vintage 1950s lead wire exactly as used by Fender, Hi End Audio Solder and Custom Magnets made exactly to the vintage specifications. This is my ultimate model in which I tried to implement all my knowledge and best components. Provides warm rich tone, copper foil tape shielding around pickups for the hum-canceling performance, best silver plated copper single core wire 2 mm? Insures 20-30% better sound: more detailed, higher dynamics, richer tone, Hi End Audio Solder containing Pure Silver and Custom Magnets made to the vintage specifications. All above make my pickups totally unique on the market and probably it? S impossible to find anything similar or close. If you know, please write to me. I use correct Pole Spacing for my pickups. 48 mm ; 1.89″; 1-7/8″; 1-57/64. 50 mm ; 1.97″, 1-31/32″. 52 mm ; 2.05″, 2-3/64″ also close to 2-1/16? HOW IMPORTANT IS IT? And if your strings are not in line with the pole pieces or magnets, you could have a loss in string balance. That said, your strings don? T have to be 100% dead-on with the pole piece. See the last pic. Means paying attention to every detail that others ignore. Please contact me and we can discuss the details to make your dream pickups a reality. So, you can choose between. Alnico 2, Alnico 3 and Alnico 8 are also available. Lead wire (here is where my top secret weapon): standard wire, expensive silver plated copper of various gauges, even 2 mm single-core Hi End silver plated copper wire or multicore Hi End silver plated copper wire and even best Stranded aircraft Pure Silver wire, shielded silver foil, sky blue color, Russian Military acceptance, used in SU-35 Jet Fighter, insulation from non-combustible materials. This wire you will never find anywhere on sale. Copper foil tape shielding around pickups for less hum or no such shielding. Standard capacitors, vintage Caps or hi end audio Capacitors. Various colors of the Pickguards. I try to make my pickups with the same approach and technology used in the 1950s by Fender and Gibson, scattered hand-winding to provide best harmonics and Archetypal? As well as bee wax to achieve that Classic Tone. I make a more substantial difference between Neck, Middle and Bridge positions by implementing various wire gauges, magnet types and number of turns. I think the switching between positions should be balanced and smooth so that the Neck should be the same volume level as the Bridge. The Neck in my opinion should sound: Full, Warm, Rich, Creamy, Clear and Multidimensional. The Middle should sound: Deep, Defined, Round with midrange Punch. The Bridge : Hot, Biting and Aggressive, Cutting, Glassy and bell-like High-Gain tone. People who bought or tried my pickups admit that I managed to achieve those characteristics. Personally I like Neck? Alnico 3 with 41 AWG, Middle Alnico 3 with 42 AWG and Bridge Alnico 5 with 43 AWG hereby achieving the distinction between pickups on the one hand and balanced volume and smooth combination on the other. Always Bee Wax for the warm tone, and proper Shielding which insures in Position 2 (Neck + Middle) and Position 4 (Middle + Bridge) total hum cancelation benefit. The installation is very simple and takes 15 minutes, you will need to solder only 3 wires: Hot, Cold and Ground.
