Expressive Strat Tone With Big Sustain
Known for their fat and clear chimey tones with lots of sustain when pushed, 1963 was a pinnacle year for the Strat, with more windings than the earlier years, offering a stronger output and fuller Strat tone. Some like to say they were "juicier" than the other years which made them very sought after by players and collectors worldwide.
The Brickhouse 1963 Strat pickups beautifully recreates those iconic vintage Strat tones that defined an era of big Stratocaster sounds we all cherish and love. Rather than just copying a random vintage spec, we focused more on refining string and output balance from one pickup to the next, and devoting much more attention to bringing out the articulation and touch sensitivity heard on the best examples made in 1963.
From clean to fuzz, these pickups will always shine bold and clear through the mix. Unlock your true sonic potential with the Brickhouse 1963 Strat pickups and experience the massive vintage Strat tone you've been searching for.
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.
