Description
Ever wish your Strat’s bridge pickup had a little more grit and bark, like it borrowed something from a Telecaster? That’s exactly the trick the APST-1 Twang Banger pulls off. It’s a true single-coil, built to slot into the lead position and deliver that snappy, cutting attack Tele players swear by, without giving up the Strat character you already know.
The magic starts with a copper-coated steel bottom plate, an unusual touch that helps shape the pickup’s punchy, aggressive voice. Pair that with hot coil windings and Alnico 2 magnets wound in plain enamel wire, and you’ve got a single-coil that runs hotter than stock, with enough output to push your amp into that gutsy, twangy growl players chase for country, rockabilly, and blues. It doesn’t stop there either, the APST-1 has the backbone to handle pop, jam-band noodling, classic rock riffing, and even heavier rock tones when you dig in.
- True single-coil design for the Strat lead position
