StewMac Single-coil pickups
Wake up your guitar! Inspired by legendary pickups of the '50s, our single-coil pickups are built for the modern player to bring out the best in your tone.
The new standard for replacement pickups
Many stock single-coil sound weak, microphonic, and aren't even built right! Ours are built with real Alnico 5 magnets with staggered polepieces just like the best vintage Strats and custom shop creations.
Alnico 5 magnets produce a clear tone with more pronounced highs and a tighter low end. It's the right combination for defined clean tones and overdriven sounds that don't get lost in the mix.
They're custom-wound for each position for a perfectly balanced tone. The middle-position pickups are reverse wound, reverse polarity, for hum cancellation at the #2 and #4 switch positions.
Looking for extra punch? Our Overwound Single-coil Pickups are specially wound to the 7.6K ohm range for the bridge or neck position.
Low noise for modern players
Each pickup has a copper shield surrounding the coil, a modern feature for 60-cycle hum suppression not found on vintage pickups.
