The “Power Rock” set combines our hottest Neodymium bridge pickup with a neo 6 for the Mid and a Neo7 for the neck.
We use a single NEO9 Neodymium pickup for the bridge. This retains a lot of classic Strat character, bright and full with a thunderous low end- dead quiet too. Neck is a Neodymium magnet NEO7 unit- With a NEO6 for the mid. This combo has a touch more power and gain than standard vintage pickups but still retains a lot of the classic Strat character and high end sparkle.
Stand right in front of your amp, stand under a dozen Heineken neon signs- don’t matter. NO noise.
Look, lots of noise free and hum canceling Strat pickups claim to be “vintage”, why are ours different? It’s the approach. Through years of pickup design we know the pitfalls of hum canceling pickups. Stacked humbuckers lose bottom end, side by side humbuckers lose treble response, shielded pickups lose feel and dynamics, active pickups hiss and lose that “human” flex and sag that make passive analog pickups so musically significant.
Why are our different?? We started with a very narrow aperture side by side humbucker, then built a grounded “Shield” array that works to acoustically and magnetically “tune” the pickup. It’s a remarkable thing really, NAILING the tone, the feel, the rich, firm, PIANO-like bottom end…. The sweet, not-too-harsh, and very vintage midrange response…. The chimey, sparkly golden high end….It’s all there, with plenty to spare.
These are great pickups for Strat players looking for a loud, powerful guitar that handles high gain well, yet still has the bouncy, sparkly high end common to vintage Strats.
