Description
Think of the S-Deluxe set as the Strat cousin to Joe Barden’s celebrated dual-blade Danny Gatton Tele pickups. The set covers all three positions: a dedicated bridge model and a shared design for neck and middle, each built around staggered double blades instead of traditional pole pieces.
- Unmistakably Strat in voice, but with a wider, more balanced frequency window than a vintage single-coil can offer
- Completely hum-canceling — no 60-cycle buzz to fight with on stage or in the mix
- Highly sensitive construction means you can dial output and character just by adjusting pickup height relative to the strings
- The in-between (2 and 4) switch positions come alive with a rich, hollow quality players chase for years
- Bridge pickup brings genuine Telecaster snap and twang, thanks to the same staggered blade layout used across all Joe Barden single-coil-sized bridge units
- That blade design also kills the dead-spot dropout on the outer strings that plagues conventional polepiece pickups
Drop-in friendly: these are built to standard Strat routing, so no body modifications are needed. Each pickup uses 4-conductor shielded cable, opening the door to series, parallel, split, or any custom wiring scheme you want to build. Wiring diagrams (download) and mounting hardware are included to get you from box to guitar without a trip to the workbench.
If you love your Strat’s twang but want the noise gone and the tone opened up, the S-Deluxe set is built exactly for that job.
