Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: Will this set fit my Squier or Fender Strat? A: Yes, it uses standard modern Strat dimensions (50mm/52mm spacing) and fits any guitar with a standard SSS pickguard route.
- Q: Is this a "noiseless" pickup set? A: These are true vintage-style single-coils, not noiseless. However, the RW/RP middle pickup provides excellent hum-cancellation in switch positions 2 and 4.
- Q: How does Alnico 2 differ from Alnico 5? A: Alnico 2 provides a warmer, sweeter tone with a softer attack. Alnico 5 is generally brighter, punchier, and has a tighter low-end.
- Q: What potentiometers should I use? A: For an authentic vintage Strat sound, we recommend standard 250kΩ audio taper pots for both volume and tone.
- Q: Do I need a special switch for the hum-canceling? A: No. The hum-canceling effect in positions 2 and 4 works automatically with any standard 5-way Stratocaster blade switch.
