With more than twice the power of a traditional Stratocaster single-coil pickup, the Quarter Pound pickups will transform any Stratocaster into a powerful, growling beast. They deliver a fat, punchy tone with plenty of sparkling highs. These high-output Strat pickups provide big, beefy chords, and single notes will stand out in a way that no other pickup can achieve. The individually hand-polished ¼” diameter Alnico 5 magnets contribute to the high-end sparkle and upper midrange harmonics that make these pickups special.

The middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity (RW/RP) for noiseless operation in positions 2 and 4. Additionally, the neck/bridge and middle pickups are available in an optional tapped variation, allowing you to access both vintage and high-output tonalities with a single set. These bobbins are hand-built, dipped in lacquer, and then wound and wax-potted for squeal-free performance. We use modern 'oval' Forbon flatwork (non-triangular), which enables the Quarter Pound high-output Strat pickups to fit into any guitar routed for single coils.
