VintageBlend Stratocaster Pickup Set

Description

The VintageBlend Pickup Set is the perfect combination of two of the most iconic Stratocaster years – 1954 and 1962. Developed for guitarists who love the classic vintage sound but still crave the flexibility and modern edge that today’s music demands, this set brings the best of both worlds to your instrument. With a carefully tuned mix of Alnico 5 and Alnico 3 magnets, and high-quality wire choices – Heavy Formvar and Plain Enamel – this set offers a unique blend of warmth, clarity, and dynamic response.

Tone That Hits the Sweet Spot

The VintageBlend Set delivers a one-of-a-kind balance of warmth, clarity, and dynamics. The use of Alnico 5 magnets for the bass strings provides a strong, punchy foundation, while the Alnico 3 magnets for the treble strings offer clear, open transparency. This combination results in a tone that remains incredibly well-rounded and versatile across all positions.

• Neck Pickup (5.8 kOhm): With Heavy Formvar AWG 42 wire, the neck pickup provides the warm, round sound you’d expect from a vintage Strat neck. Expect deep bass and smooth mids, perfect for blues, jazz, and mellow clean tones.
• Middle Pickup (6.0 kOhm): The middle pickup delivers the signature “quack” of a Stratocaster, which shines through in the in-between positions. With Heavy Formvar AWG 42 wire, you get clear highs and dynamic mids that keep the sound vibrant and present without being too sharp.
• Bridge Pickup (6.3 kOhm): The bridge pickup is the powerful, punchy pickup in this set. With Plain Enamel AWG 42 wire, it provides aggressive highs and tight, punchy lows. This pickup is perfect for everything from bright, shimmering cleans to powerful solos.

The Perfect Vintage Tone

With the VintageBlend Pickup Set, you get an authentic vintage sound that combines the best elements of classic 50s and 60s Stratocaster pickups. The smooth, warm tone of the neck pickup pairs perfectly with the punchy clarity of the bridge pickup, with that signature “quack” in the middle position. This set is ideal for a wide range of music styles, from blues and rock to indie and funk – all while preserving that classic vintage character that never lets you down.

Get inspired by the sound of legends and take your Stratocaster to the next level with the VintageBlend Pickup Set.

Perfect for guitarists who love the classic Strat sound but want a modern, dynamic twist.
