A rare CuNiFe signature, tailored to the Stratocaster world
Historically associated with Fender's "Wide Range" humbuckers using the same threaded magnets, CuNiFe arrives here in a Stratocaster single-coil format with a truly different approach. The result: a very clear response, precise attack, and bold dynamics, while retaining the vintage spirit expected from a Strat. Musicians of all styles have sought these "authentic" CuNiFe magnets for decades, which have become particularly rare since the discontinuation of certain historic models in the late 1970s.
A set designed for dynamics, clarity, and playing comfort
If you like to hear every nuance of your right hand, this set is made for you. The lows recall a "piano" foundation, the mids remain singing without harshness, and the highs keep a silky brightness that highlights cleans, crunches, and more driven tones. Whether you play open chords, funky chicken scratch, expressive blues, or articulated leads, these pickups maintain definition and a very musical presence even when you crank up the volume.
Design choices focused on performance and silence
The threaded CuNiFe pole pieces and the Formvar-coated wire winding contribute to this sensation of precision and wideband response. The cover with a chrome ring and vintage white insert not only provides an immediately recognizable aesthetic but also serves as a shield to help reduce 60-cycle hum. Finally, the DC resistance and inductance values, increasing from neck to bridge, reflect a natural progression of output level and harmonic density across the selector positions.
