Boasting over double the power of a traditional Stratocaster single-coil, the Quarter Pound pickups can turn any Stratocaster into a fierce, snarling creature, delivering a robust, punchy tone with an abundance of high-end sheen. These high-output Strat pickups produce full-bodied chords and make individual notes stand out in a manner unmatched by other pickups. The hand-polished ¼-inch diameter alnico 5 magnets contribute significantly to the high-end brilliance and the upper midrange harmonics that distinguish this pickup.

The middle pickup features RW/RP configuration for noiseless performance in the 2nd and 4th positions. Both the neck/bridge and middle pickups come in an optional tapped version, offering access to a range of tonalities from vintage warmth to high output edge with a single set. Each bobbin is meticulously constructed, lacquer-dipped, wound, and wax-potted to ensure a performance free of squeals. The use of modern 'oval' Forbon flatwork (non-triangular) allows the Quarter Pound high-output Strat pickups to be installed in any guitar designed for single coils.
