Lefty 59 SRV Stratocaster Hand Wound Shielded Pickups Fender Lacquer Potted

Description: Lefty SRV Number One #1 Tribute Stratocaster Shielded Pickups Set For Fender Strat Migas Touch Lacquer PottedLacquer vs Wax Potting:Both are used to seal the wire to avoid microphonic noises and squeals. Wax potting takes 10 to 15 minutes to allow the wax to completely penetrate the pickup.This eliminates all microphonic noise and squeals. Lacquer potting is a quick dip to seal the outside of the pickup wires and does not penetrate completely.This does eliminates most of the microphonic noise and squeals while allowing the wire to remain free inside for a more high-end airy lively tone True Left Handed Staggered Stevie Ray Vaughan's pickups were examined in that hotel room autopsy by Fender awhile back, they commented that the "neck pickup was hotest, the other two relatively weak, all bobbins were copper foil shielded." This is consistent with what pickups in '59 were, most of them had the neck the hottes pickup. Copper foil wrapping and grounding acts as a "shorted turn" which basically clips off the treble a bunch. These pickups are heavy formvar and can be on the squeaky clean/bright side so this helps mellow them down some. Even though the vintage Fender pickups are more mellow sounding than new pickups, some of the better preserved ones can still be pretty bright. So a basically unfinished guitar and shielded pickups really soften the pickups in a good combination. I did the research when reproducing these pickups using period correct USA made components. From the vulcanized fiber flat work, Alnico V Magnets that are aged and hand beveled with the same stagger as used by Fender for the Stratocaster in 1959. With the Heavy Formvar .42 wire I hand wind every pickup meticulously using a scatter wind and under winding them to stay true to Stevie's weaker output having the neck the hotest. Copper foil wrapping and grounding which acts as a shorter turn which clips off the treble. Everything about these pickups is as correct as can be made and replicate the pickups in The famous Number One Strat. Stevie would keep these pickups low, close to the pickguard and had a high action using heavier strings. With a low gain amp and cranking it up in combination with these pickups is how Stevie pulled the amazing tones from his guitar. These are the real deal and I did not use other methods to try and replicate his sound like many others do but using same components to come as close as possible to match the pickups he used. We lacquer dip all of our bobbins for durability then lacquer pot them to avoid microphonic noises and squeals. All of our pickups are hand wound and scatterwound. We have spent a great amount of time testing wires, magnets, and bobbins from various sources to product the best quality pickup that we can.
