Description
Van Zandt pickups come from a lineage that goes back to the early 1960s, when W.L. Van Zandt was already rewinding magnets for fellow players around Dallas/Ft. Worth. By the time he formally launched the company in the late ’80s, decades of hands-on repair work and a background as a machinist had shaped a very specific ear for what makes a Strat pickup feel right. That history is baked into the Vintage Plus line.
This particular pickup is the reverse wound / reverse polarity middle unit, designed to slot into the center position of your Stratocaster and cancel hum when combined with the neck or bridge pickup in the classic 2-and-4 switch positions. Tonally, it’s aimed squarely at the golden-era ’60s Strat voice – balanced across the highs, mids, and lows rather than skewed toward one end, giving you a pickup that stays useful across genres instead of locking you into one sound.
- Reverse wound, reverse polarity design for noise-canceling switch positions
- Tuned to capture vintage ’60s Stratocaster character
- Even response across highs, mids, and lows
- A strong drop-in replacement for American Standard Stratocasters
- Works well for country, blues, and rock playing styles
