Our Big Sur set is the product of many hours of research into what makes the very best examples of early Van Nuys era Stratocasters sound so good.
Package contains a full set of three Stratocaster pickups - Neck / Middle (RWRP) / Bridge
Hand-wound, open sounding and articulate…
With finely tuned relative outputs between each coil - to highlight the best tonal qualities in each of the five switch positions. Our alnico V magnets are charged by hand to specific values, creating a subtle roundness in the highest frequencies for super sweet playability.
Characteristics
Clear flute tones and bell-like chime in the neck
Enhanced middle pickup with a fat midrange push, which perfectly compliments the neck and bridge in positions 2 & 4
Highly usable bridge position, wound for a sweet & rounded top-end
Perfect for “Gilmore Mod” wiring (neck + bridge together)
