Vintage '60

$66 - $198 (Includes all options chosen)

The "Vintage '60's" pickups are based on pickups from an extraordinary sounding original '63 Strat.

Hand crafted with the very best materials; black vulcanized fiberboard flatwork, heavy Formvar magnet wire, Onamac Windery's custom formulated alnico 5 magnets in a vintage stagger and era correct waxed cloth push back lead wire. Vacuum potted in paraffin to eliminate any possibility micro phonics.

The Achilles heel of many Stratocasters is the weak, thin sounding bridge position. To avoid this possibility the bridge pickup in this set is a much improved design utilizing smaller diameter 43awg magnet wire. This makes room so more wire will fit on the bridge pickup bobbin attaining a more focused midrange yet retaining the desirable vintage tone and clarity. Players who have for years avoided using the bridge position have commented that it is now their go-to pickup for lead work.

DC resistance runs from the high 5k to low 6k range with the unique 7.0k bridge.

Signature sounds of the Vintage '60's pickups are the clear, articulate bell tones on the treble side, pronounced woody / quack "Strat tone" throughout the midrange coupled with articulate woody bass sounds from the wound strings providing a big bottom end with no hint of the mushy "boomy" bass notes produced by lesser quality pickups.

The full rich harmonics and undertones are telltale signs of an Onamac Windery pickup and are a result of many years' experience of hand guided scatter winding using constantly changing tensions and pattern-less wire layering. This unique style combined with varying bobbin speeds is something that cannot be reproduced on a machine whether CNC, vintage or otherwise.
