A Custom Shop Set Designed for a Sensitive and Dynamic Strat
The Troposphere Stratocaster pickups are conceived in the spirit of the best vintage Strats, but with a very modern intention: to let the amp breathe. Their lighter winding ("underwound") emphasizes dynamics, definition, and attack, while offering valuable clarity reserve as soon as you push an overdrive. The result: a lively sound that follows the right hand and reveals nuances, even on subtle settings.For Which Guitarists and Sounds?
If you're looking for a Stratocaster pickup set capable of going from crystalline cleans to elegant saturation without losing harmonic finesse, the Troposphere is made for you. They excel in blues, pop, funk, classic rock, and all situations where you play with guitar volume, touch, and dynamics. The RWRP middle pickup also provides real comfort on stage and in the studio by reducing noise in the intermediate positions.A "Mixed Vintage" Construction: Formvar and Enamel Serving Balance
The set stands out with a very musical approach to wiring: the bridge pickup uses 50s style formvar wire for a sharp attack and ideal presence in both rhythm and solo playing. The neck pickup adopts 60s style enamel wire, known for its roundness and softness, perfect for singing phrasing and velvety tones. In the middle, the reverse-wound/reverse-polarity pickup completes the set by delivering cleaner and more homogeneous combinations without sacrificing Strat character.Technical specifications
