Description
Texas hand-winder W.L. Van Zandt built his reputation one bobbin at a time out of Dallas/Ft. Worth, and this mixed set shows why players still track down his pickups by word of mouth. It combines the glassy, articulate True Vintage neck and middle pickups with the beefier Vintage Plus bridge pickup for a Strat voice that covers more ground than a single-model set.
- Neck & Middle: True Vintage — chases the 50s-to-early-60s Strat tone, slightly bright with present mids, W.L.’s personal favorite for country, blues, jazz, and rock-a-billy
- Middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity (RWRP) for hum-cancelling in the 2 and 4 positions
- Bridge: Vintage Plus — models the more aggressive 60s Strat sound, slightly hotter output and midrange for a balanced, do-it-all tone across blues, country, and rock
- Alnico V rod magnets throughout
- Single coil construction
- Vintage-style single conductor cloth wire
- Hand wound, wired, and inspected in Dallas, Texas — if it’s not right, it doesn’t leave the shop
Whether you’re chasing twangy Telecaster-adjacent snap or a warmer, rounder Strat growl, this set lets you dial in vintage character at the neck and middle while keeping enough push at the bridge to cut through a band mix.
Includes a free set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (EB2221) strings, and every set ships new and direct from the Van Zandt shop.
