Pickup Kit for Strat

Pickup Kit for Strat

Now you can build your own guitar pickups from the ground up: go for the vintage sound or wind it your own way for custom tone!

Each of our pickup kits features vintage-style parts and includes an assembly diagram to get you started.

Choose Alnico 5 or Alnico 2 magnets:
Alnico 2 magnets give a warmer tone and low end response with smooth, singing highs. Many builders use them in the bridge pickups of solidbodies.
Alnico 5 produces a brighter tone with a tighter low end and stinging highs. They're great for neck position pickups, to help keep the tone clear without getting muddy.

Kit includes the basics for a pickup that's straight from the '50s:
• Black fiber bobbin flatwork
• Brass eyelets
• Vintage specification staggered-height polepieces, ready to magnetize
• Black and white push-back wire
• Mounting screws
• Compressible tubing for height adjustment
• Instructions

The assembled pickup fits a standard Strat® pickup cover and pickguard.
