Description
Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix Signature Strat Neck/Middle, White Pickup
These Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix Signature pickups deliver the classic single-coil character that defined Hendrix's groundbreaking tone, with modern consistency and reliability. The matched neck and middle pair maintains smooth, articulate response across the lower registers while preserving the brightness and chime essential to vintage Strat voicing. In the studio, this pairing translates to recordings with natural clarity and vintage warmth—ideal for capturing authentic single-coil texture without modern brittleness or noise.
Electrical & Magnetic Specifications
Both the neck and middle pickups measure 6.07 ohms DCR, delivering balanced output and tonal coherence across the pair. The Alnico 5 magnet construction provides the warmth and sustain characteristic of classic single-coil design, while the reverse magnet stagger ensures proper pole-piece alignment for even string response and reduced dead spots. This consistency proves essential in recording sessions where pickup balance affects mix cohesion and reduces the need for corrective EQ.
Construction & Design
The middle pickup uses standard (non-RWRP) winding, maintaining traditional hum characteristics when combined with the neck and bridge positions. The cloth push-back cable provides reliable, vintage-style connectivity with minimal microphonic noise, typical of Seymour Duncan's quality construction standards. Low-noise wiring keeps your recordings clean and focused, reducing unwanted artifacts during takes and overdubs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What genres and playing styles are these pickups best suited for?
These pickups excel in blues, rock, funk, and indie styles. They are not designed for metal or djent applications. The vintage single-coil character and articulate response make them ideal for players seeking classic Strat tone rather than high-gain or extended-range playing.
Will these pickups fit my Strat?
Yes, these are designed for standard Fender Strat-style instruments and use single-coil format and specifications. They are a matched neck and middle pair, so you will need to source a bridge pickup separately or use your existing bridge pickup.
What makes these pickups sound like Jimi Hendrix's tone?
The Alnico 5 magnet construction, 6.07 ohms DCR, reverse magnet stagger, and matched voicing deliver the warm sustain, brightness, and articulate chime characteristic of classic single-coil design. These elements combine to capture the vintage Strat essence that defined Hendrix's groundbreaking sound.
Will I hear hum when I use the neck and middle pickups together?
The middle pickup uses standard (non-RWRP) winding, which means it will have typical hum characteristics when combined with the neck and bridge positions—this is part of the authentic vintage single-coil voice. If hum rejection is critical, you would need a reverse-wound reverse-polarity middle pickup instead.
What are the electrical specifications of these pickups?
Both the neck and middle pickups measure 6.07 ohms DCR and use Alnico 5 magnets with reverse magnet stagger configuration for even string response and reduced dead spots. The cloth push-back cable provides reliable, vintage-style connectivity with minimal microphonic noise.
