The Classic Stack Plus neck pickup looks and sounds like a true Stratocaster single-coil, but without the traditional single-coil hum. It’s got all of the sparkle and the chime that you would expect from a vintage Strat pickup. Like its neck counterpart, the Classic Stack Plus middle pickup provides all of the classic Strat chime. However, we built the RWRP to give you the perfect in-between sound between positions 2 & 4 when split, keeping the set completely hum-free in all selector positions.

Complete the set with the Classic Stack Plus bridge pickup, which is wound slightly hotter than the neck and middle models to provide an even balance and output between positions. Back in the 80s, we patented a special bottom coil that actually injects negative hum into the pickup circuit, and at the end of the production process, we fine-tune each pickup for maximum noise cancellation. You get all the great qualities of a classic Strat pickup, and none of the hum.

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Classic Stack Plus Stratocaster pickups use hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and come with a splittable 3-conductor lead wire to give you access to true single coil operation. Each pickup wax potted for squeal-free performance.
