Like Jimi’s music, the Jimi Hendrix Signature Strat pickups have their roots in the traditional but with an eye on the future. Each pickup is custom wound for a richer, melodic tone. The bridge model has an aggressive attack that cuts through while staying true to Jimi’s iconic lead tone. The neck/middle pickup sounds thick and full and is great for chord work, bluesy melodies, double-stops and Jimi’s signature hybrid chord/melody style. And in the in-between positions there’s plenty of that classic Strat ‘quack.’ When it comes to specs., Seymour is meticulous about vintage correctness, and the original Strat set that he wound for Jimi in 1968 did not have an RWRP middle pickup. Therefore, just like the originals, the middle pickup of these accurate recreations is also not RWRP.
To help you to get even closer to Jimi’s earth-shattering tone, each pickup is made with a reverse magnet stagger to capture the effect of playing a right-handed guitar upside-down and restrung for a lefty. The white pickup covers showcase Jimi’s signature, and the set also comes with a commemorative booklet and stickers. Put these classic Strat pickups in your guitar and prepare to be Experienced!
