7-String Stratocaster Models
Special “S”
Our Special S Series offers a higher output Strat® pickup design with a deep thick tone, round highs, and smooth bottom that approaches a “Gibsonish” attack and sustain. Less quack than other, lower output strat pickups when in positions 2 and 4. Output is noticeably higher and will break up most amps a little faster and harder than typical Strat pickups. Vintage style cloth covered lead wire. Middle is RWRP for humbucking operation in positions 2 and 4.

Blonde
Our Vintage Blonde Strat style pickups are bright but smooth. Scooped midrange, full bass with smooth attack, medium low output sounds glassy, chimey, spanky. Play soft and get round, smooth tone; hit it hard and the attack and treble will come forward in the mix. Works well with overdrives. Alnico 2 flat poles, scattered wound, wax potted coils. Vintage style cloth covered lead wire. Middle is RWRP for humbucking operation in positions 2 and 4.

Tweed
Lollar Vintage Tweed pickups are very clean and “stratty,” light on bass and mids, lots of “quack.” Great for overdrives with extra mids, or diming out a smaller amp. Tone will not get muddy under heavy distortion. Low output will not make many vintage amps distort more than a mild clipping. Alnico 2 flat poles, scatter wound, wax potted coils. Vintage style cloth covered lead wire. Middle is RWRP for humbucking operation in positions 2 and 4.
