Lindy Fralin are one of the premier makers of custom wound guitar pickups and these Blues Specials really live up to their name, used by pro players who want that Strat sound but with something extra under the hood.
Blues Specials are 5% Hotter than stock vintage output with killer tone for modern blues and rock players! If you're looking for that Strat sound with just a bit of grit and thickness this is the Fralin Pickups set for you. You will notice that this set has a bit more mid push, sure the highs and everything else that you would want from a Strat set is there but with a bit more mids pushing through.
Wound with 42 gauge SPN magnet wire, staggered Alnico V magnets, black fibreboard coil forms, wax potting to reduce microphonics and vintage style cloth covered output leads. Approximate ohm readings 7K bridge, 6.2K middle, 6.2K neck.
A Base Plate version is listed separately and will give you 10% more bass without affecting the mids or highs.
This set has an RW/RP reverse wound/reverse magnetic polarity middle pickup for hum cancellation in the 'out of phase' positions two and four on a five way pickup selector switch.
The Hybrid Stagger is basically a Flat Pole stagger. All magnets are flush with the cover with the exception of the D string, which is raised out of the cover slightly. This provides a better balance for flatter radius necks at 12" or more
