Premium American Quality:
David Shepherd meticulously hand builds each pickup one at a time using custom USA sourced parts and materials to ensure the highest quality standards and procedures are met throughout the entire build process. We also laser cut all of the vintage fiberboard bobbin material in house to meet our high quality standards and specifications.
Details That Matter:
The middle pickups are RWRP (Reverse Wound Reverse Polarity) so that you can achieve hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4 of a 5-way switch. This is a modern advantage that comes standard with all of our single coils. Also, unlike vintage strat pickups, the magnet stagger is refined and calibrated to offer a more perfect balance in output from one string to the next.
Notes About Magnet Stagger:
The polepiece/magnets are fixed in height and cannot be adjusted. Choose Right Handed for a right handed magnet stagger and choose Left Handed for a left handed magnet stagger. Each magnet is set to a specific height in order to respond evenly in output from one string to the next when using standard electric guitar strings with a plain unwound 3rd string.

Customer Reviews
I have played a LOT of Strat pickups, some old, some new, many of the boutique guys that are universally lauded and quite a few of the small guys hungry for success. David's pickups beat them all.
The 63 Strat set is an absolute masterpiece- a neck pickup that combines all the great historical Strat "sounds in your head" and somehow transcends them all, a bridge with all the infinite crystal clear treble in the world that melts into a classic overwound sound with a little tone rolled off. But the kicker, the absolute winner of this set is the hardest thing of all to master- a magic middle pickup that just SINGS and creates the most beautiful in-between tones.
This isn't hyperbole; David's pickups really are THAT good, and given his exponentially positive personal impact on the industry at large, he's a guy I'd love to support even if the pickups were JUST good. But they aren't just good; they are the most inspiring Strat pickups I've ever played.
