The vintage advantage.
I make replicas of many vintage Fender and Gibson pickups; this one is my SSL-1,
the Staggered Strat.
I make it just like the original--not for cosmetic reasons, but because if you
change the way a pickup is made, you change the way it sounds.
The original Stratocaster* pickup had magnetic
pole pieces with staggered heights; the mixture of intensity of the magnetic
fields gave birth to the unique vintage Strat* sound.
I wrap 8,350 turns of copper wire on the coil of the SSL-1, like Leo Fender did.
You get full output instead of the thinner sound of the 7,600 turns on
the newer model Strats.*
Every detail is important to duplicate the fat full sound and top-end bite
that made the vintage Strat* famous.
You can put the vintage advantage into your guitar.
My vintage Tele*, Strat*,
P-Bass*, Jazz-Bass*, and Humbucker pickups fit right into modem guitars with no
alteration, and I always give
you wiring diagrams and instructions.
