Lefty 59 SRV Stratocaster Hand Wound Shielded Pickups Fender Lacquer Potted

  

Lefty SRV Number One #1 Tribute Stratocaster Shielded Pickups Set For Fender Strat Migas Touch Lacquer Potted. Both are used to seal the wire to avoid microphonic noises and squeals. This eliminates all microphonic noise and squeals. This does eliminates most of the microphonic noise and squeals while allowing the wire to remain free inside for a more high-end airy lively tone. Copper foil wrapping and grounding acts as a "shorted turn" which basically clips off the treble a bunch.

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. So a basically unfinished guitar and shielded pickups really soften the pickups in a good combination.

I did the research when reproducing these pickups using period correct USA made components. 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. 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. We lacquer dip all of our bobbins for durability then lacquer pot them to avoid microphonic noises and squeals. All of our pickups are hand wound and scatterwound. Each of our hand-wound sets are signed and dated.

White cover included (cream and black available). SRV Number One #1 Tribute Stratocaster Guitar Hand Wound Shielded Pickups Set. Awesome pickups at an awesome price.

Incredibly satisfied with the service and the item showed up fast and expertly packaged. Would and will do business with again in the near future. Hurry and get your order in before there is a wait!

Really looking forward to dropping those in my guitar. I did a little research and hands down I believe this is the best deal on the planet for top notch hand wound pickups. A must for the true Hendrix and Gilmore sound of the late and early 70's.

Look and sound like the. A steal for the price.
