Specialized guitar pickup set from Fender's Ultra Vintage line - engineered to capture classic Stratocaster tone while eliminating the 60Hz hum that plagued vintage single-coil designs. This matched set provides complete pickup solution for Stratocaster retrofitting or full-body upgrade projects.
Specifications: Stackable single-coil configuration maintaining original Stratocaster visual profile. Alnico 5 magnets - the industry standard for premium guitar pickups, providing warmth and resonance preferred by professional musicians. Polysol polymer-insulated copper wire reduces eddy current losses and improves tonal clarity. Moderate output suitable for versatile playing styles including blues, rock, country, and jazz without excessive gain stacking requirements.
The Noiseless™ technology specifically addresses 60Hz hum interference common in older buildings and certain electrical environments. The design solves this real-world performance challenge without compromising authentic vintage tone characteristics. The stackable single-coil design allows these pickups to replace standard Strat pickups while maintaining the instrument's original aesthetic.
Alnico 5 magnetic material delivers the particular harmonic character that defines the classic Stratocaster sound - bright treble with warm midrange and solid bass response. Polysol wire construction prevents the signal degradation associated with standard enamel wire in high-impedance designs.
Applications include Stratocaster players seeking vintage tone with modern reliability, recording musicians requiring quiet clean input signals, musicians working in electrically noisy environments, restoration projects on vintage instruments, and professionals upgrading from problematic single-coil pickups.
Fender's Noiseless™ engineering was developed by the company that invented the Stratocaster - combining original design philosophy with contemporary noise-reduction technology. The moderate output accommodates both clean and overdriven amplifier settings without requiring gain compensation.
