VINTAGE '54 STRAT is a set that is modeled on pickups from the beginning of the Stratocaster era, which has revolutionized music. Medium-output Alnico 3 magnets used at that time meant that the sound became full and warm. The bottom end sounds deep and the middle range is very wide and clean. They have a characteristic natural sustain. This is all faithfully put into the Vintage '54 Strat set. Scatterwound by hand with a 42 AWG Heavy formvar wire correct for that period.
 
The hand beveled and staggered magnets are mounted on a black fibreboard and covered with varnish as it was done from the early period of production. This protects the surfaces for many years of use.
 
This set has a waxed outer layer of coils, such as all vintage Fender pickups.
The center of the coil is not waxed to obtain pure, crystal sound and high dynamics. We achieve this thanks to the method that includes waxing at a certain temperature for a certain time.
 
If you prefer completely waxed coils add "Wax Potted" to the "Add a Note" at checkout.
