HSS Stratocaster Pickup Set: Vintage Hot Strats with a Classic PAF Bridge
Our HSS Stratocaster Pickup Set offers a perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern versatility. Featuring our Vintage Hot Strat Pickups in the neck and middle positions, combined with a traditional A4 PAF in the bridge, this set is designed to provide the best of both worlds — from punchy, vintage single-coil tones to powerful, creamy humbucker sounds.
The Vintage Hot Strat Pickups deliver a bit more punch than traditional '50s Strat pickups, with a slightly less scooped midrange. This makes them more versatile across a range of styles, providing a balanced tone that transitions smoothly from neck to middle position without a dramatic shift. The result is a cohesive, consistent sound that pairs perfectly with the bridge pickup.
The A4 PAF bridge pickup is designed to cut through the mix with clarity, retaining a rich amount of treble without sounding thin or brittle. The humbucker delivers that classic PAF sweetness, with a smooth, yet defined sound that suits everything from soulful leads to crunchy rhythm playing. This bridge pickup comes in an F-spaced (52mm center-to-center) format unless otherwise specified by the customer.
For added customization, the pickups can be ordered in three different pole stagger options: vintage stagger, modern stagger, or flat poles. Be sure to include your preference in the order notes.
