A5 Model Strat Pickup
Late 1950s Strat pickups are celebrated for their iconic sound, characterised by a warm, bell-like tone with a pronounced midrange. These pickups feature a unique combination of Alnico V magnets and 42 AWG Formvar coated wire which contribes to their rich, dynamic response and classic Strat chime. The slightly higher output compared to earlier models gives them a bit more presence and sustain, making them ideal for expressive solos and full-bodied rhythm work.
Their clarity and balance allow them to cut through a mix while maintaining a smooth, rounded character. This makes them particularly well-suited for blues, where the nuanced articulation of each note is crucial. Despite their vintage roots, they adapt well to modern playing styles, offering versatility while retaining their classic charm.
They're also known for their ability to handle a range of effects, from mild overdrive to more intense distortion, without losing their tonal integrity. Their responsive nature allows for a wide range of dynamics, making them a favorite among guitarists seeking that timeless Stratocaster sound.
Overall, the A5 model offers a blend of vintage warmth and modern versatility, making them a prized choice for guitarists who want to capture that classic blues and rock essence.
As with all Green Pickups, They are built, sealed with lacquer, wound and dipped in black lamp paraffin wax to help with microphonics.
