Description
Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix Signature Strat Set, White Pickup
This Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix Signature pickup set captures the articulate, responsive character that defined one of guitar's greatest voices. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara with period-correct specifications, these pickups excel at tracking both the crystalline single-coil snap of clean tones and the singing sustain of driven lead work. The white finish complements vintage and modern Strats alike while maintaining the tonal authenticity that translates to compelling recordings.
Pickup Design & Recording Character
Alnico 5 magnets paired with 6.07 DCR on neck and middle pickups deliver the warmth and output balance essential for capturing Hendrix's signature sound in your sessions. The reverse magnet stagger ensures even response and articulation across the fretboard, while the cloth push-back cable provides period-correct construction and reliable shielding for clean signal path integrity.
Installation & Studio Integration
This set installs directly into most standard Stratocaster models without modification, making it straightforward to integrate into your recording setup. The middle pickup features no RWRP (Reverse Wound Reverse Polarity), maintaining traditional hum characteristics in middle-pickup positions—a consideration that affects phase relationships and mic blending in production.
