Gramel Stratocaster SST set

Vintage Hot Strat & Tele Broadcaster Pickup Set: Balanced Strat Clarity Meets Telecaster Punch

The Vintage Hot Strat & Tele Broadcaster Pickup Set is designed to offer the best of both worlds — a classic Stratocaster tone with a vintage hot twist, combined with the punch and clarity of a Telecaster bridge. This set features a flat poled configuration, ideal for Strat players with fretboard radiuses of 9.5” or flatter, ensuring better string balance and a more uniform response across the neck.

The neck and middle pickups are wound with Alnico 5 magnets to a “vintage hot” output, delivering a punchier, warmer sound than traditional vintage Strat pickups. This results in a slightly more forward midrange, giving your clean tones extra body, while still preserving the signature Strat sparkle and quack, making them perfect for blues, rock, or anything that requires clear articulation and a full, round sound.

For the bridge pickup, we’ve taken inspiration from the vintage Telecaster Broadcaster design. Wound with Alnico 3 magnets, 43 AWG wire, and paired with a zinc steel baseplate, this pickup provides that classic Telecaster snap with a rich low-end presence and a bite that cuts through the mix without sounding thin or harsh. It’s the perfect answer to the common problem Strat players face: a bridge pickup that is often too bright and thin. The Tele Broadcaster-style bridge pickup provides the right amount of snap and warmth, giving your tone a more balanced, fuller response.

This set offers the perfect combination of vintage hot Strat warmth and clarity in the neck and middle positions, paired with the punch and snap of a Telecaster-style bridge pickup that’s perfect for players seeking a balanced, full sound with the versatility to tackle a variety of styles.
