Joe Barden S-Deluxe Pickup, Neck / Middle (Black)

The S-Deluxe models are the Strat - equivalent to our dual blade Danny Gatton Tele pickups. Two models are available; one for the bridge position and the other for the neck and middle positions.

The tone of the S-Deluxe is absolutely Strat™ in character, but with greatly expanded fidelity and balanced frequency response. Of course, hum and noise are completely eliminated. These pickups are incredibly sensitive, giving you a wide range of tones and output levels simply by adjusting the distance of the pickup from the strings.

With S-Deluxe pickups, the "in-between" positions are wonderfully hollow, and the bridge pickup has the strength, snap, and twang typically experienced only in Telecasters.™ The unique staggered double blade design of the bridge pickup, common to all Joe Barden single-coil sized bridge pickups, eliminates drop-outs on the outer strings.

All S-Deluxe pickups are designed to fit standard Strat body routs with no modifications to the instrument. The pickups utilize 4 conductor shielded cable to allow for any possible wiring combination and are supplied with wiring diagrams and mounting hardware to facilitate installation.

And finally available after many requests are White S-Deluxe pickups. Computer screen colors are often misleading so the color you see on your screen may not accurately reflect the true color of the pickup which can be best described as a something akin to "White Chocolate" with a white finish that is not stark or bright. The white color looks great against a white perloid, black and even pure white pickguard. The materials for these pickups cost more, but the price is the same as our standard black.
