The quintessential and most identifiable Strat tone, and possibly the most loved – the maple neck era from mid ‘55 – mid ‘59.
These will do everything a Strat can do well. Clear bell tones, quacky in-between positions, and defined overdriven tones.
Alnico 5 magnets, wound with 42 gauge Formvar to approximately 5.6K neck, and 10 percent overwound bridge upon request.

Fantastic pickups. Was looking to upgrade my ’62 reissue strat’s stock pickups, and after some back-and-forth on email with Owen we landed on these. I was looking for vintage characteristics – microphonic, dynamic, and alive – and these deliver. The bridge pickup is particularly outstanding. I will be buying from Owen again.
