Wilkinson HOT Single Coil Pickups for Stratocaster Guitars, WHITE

The Wilkinson HOT Single Coil Pickups for Strat* guitars offer a professional-grade setup that exceeds expectations given the price point. These pickups feature non-staggered, flat pole-pieces, making them an ideal choice for those who use effects pedals, as they provide rich harmonics and substantial natural sustain.

The middle pickup is reverse wound and reverse polarity, enabling it to cancel out hum when playing in position 2 and 4 on a traditional 5-way setup with 3 single-coil pickups, effectively functioning as a humbucker. Additionally, the bridge pickup is slightly overwound to increase the output and balance the set, compensating for the fact that the guitar strings vibrate less the closer they are to the bridge.

Regarding the specific specifications, the bridge pickup has a resistance of 6.2k, the middle and neck pickups both have a resistance of 5.5k. The pole-spacing is as follows: bridge at 52mm (white wire), middle at 50mm (red wire), and neck at 50mm (white wire).

These pickups are built with a ceramic magnet and feature classic staggered pole-pieces, providing a 'vintage-voiced' single-coil tone. The package includes 6 chrome mounting screws and springs, ensuring a complete and hassle-free installation.

One of the standout features of these Wilkinson HOT Single Coil Pickups is their ability to work seamlessly with effects pedals. The non-staggered, flat pole-pieces allow for a clean and unobstructed signal path, enabling the pickups to capture the full richness and depth of the guitar's tone, even when various effects are engaged.

The middle pickup's reverse wound and reverse polarity design is a particularly noteworthy aspect of this set. This feature effectively eliminates the hum that can sometimes occur when playing in the second and fourth positions on a traditional 5-way setup. This 'humbucker' functionality provides a more cohesive and professional-sounding output, making these pickups an attractive choice for players who value a well-balanced and versatile tonal palette.

Overall, the Wilkinson HOT Single Coil Pickups for Strat* guitars offer a comprehensive and high-quality solution for players seeking to upgrade their instrument's sound. With their attention to detail, professional-grade components, and intuitive design, these pickups are a fantastic option for those looking to elevate their playing experience.
