Each pickup is machine-wound here in the Philippines for flawless consistency and balance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Q: Will this set fit my SSS or HSS Stratocaster?
A: No. This set requires a guitar body and pickguard specifically routed for an HSH (Humbucker-Single-Humbucker) configuration. -
Q: Can both humbuckers be coil-split?
A: Yes, both the neck and bridge humbuckers feature 4-conductor wiring, making them ready for coil-splitting with push-pull pots or mini-switches. -
Q: Is this set "noiseless"?
A: The neck and bridge humbuckers are hum-canceling, as are switch positions 2 and 4. The middle single-coil by itself will have some vintage 60-cycle hum. -
Q: Are the pickups balanced with each other?
A: Yes, the DCRs and shared Alnico 2 magnet type are specifically chosen to ensure a smooth, balanced transition in volume and tone between all 5 positions. -
Q: What potentiometer values should I use for an HSH set?
A: 500kΩ pots are the standard for HSH setups to maintain brightness and clarity for all pickups. Consult our wiring diagrams for advanced options like auto-splitting.
