’63 Vintage Strat Pickups
Step into the golden age of tone with the undisputed heavyweight of vintage Strat sound. The ’63 Vintage Strat Pickups are known as the hotter, fatter kings of the classic lineup—offering a beefier output while keeping that iconic Strat clarity intact. Hand-wound to exact vintage specs with staggered Alnico V magnets and 42-gauge wire, they deliver warm lows, bold mids, and sparkling highs with a bit more punch where it counts. Think bell-like cleans that bite when pushed—perfect for blues, rock, and everything in between. If you’re after the fullest, richest voice in the vintage Strat world, the ’63s are where it’s at.
These picks feature a ’63 vintage stagger only to keep the reproduction as close to the original as possible with beveled magnets.
