TRUE Left Handed version available but in 5-way only. All middle pickups are RWRP and Magnets are Staggered & beveled, Pre CBS 54-64 black bobbin Vintage spec Alnico V.187 diameter magnets using 42 gauge Vintage Formvar Remington Wire
OR 65-70 Grey bottom Nicknamed " The Jimi Years " using Vintage spec Alnico V.187 diameter magnets using 42 gauge Vintage Plain Enamel Remington wire. I use Vintage age White for the pickup covers and knobs .These pickups are completely built by me in my USA , Ohio shop using USA suppliers at mie music. Also a local recording studio . Demo is shown in my store, click on the link at the bottom and once in my store click on the about link.
Here are my steps:
1) I install the Alnico 5 Rod Magnets into the Flatwork using a pickup jig and pressing in the magnets using an Arbor press. 2) I dip the unwound completed Flatwork with magnets installed in Lacquer. Dry for 24 hours. 2) Then I hand/scatter to the coil to my proprietary way of winding with 42 gauge USA Remington wire of your choice, Vintage Formvar or Plain enamel. 3) Solder pickup lead wires with Vintage push back cloth cover wire. 4) Wax dip with 80% paraffin 20% beeswax at 140-150 degrees. 5) Charge the Magnets. 6) Install on the Pickguard. I use CTS or Fender pots. The Volume knob is a push / pull knob. When in position 5 and the knob pulled it adds the bridge. In position 4 when pulled it adds all 3 pickups in parallel. When not pulled it performs like a Standard 5 way Strat. 7) White or Black are my stock pickguard colors but be sure to ask about other colors. All pickup covers and knobs are Fender Vintage White. I have been playing Strats for over 50 years and had a bucket full of dead pickups so I started taking them apart to find the weakness. I found that the wiring had rubbed against the coil magnets until they shorted out, so that's why I lacquer the flatwork before winding. These pickups are made to last and give you a great Vintage tone and low cost upgrade to your instrument. www.miemusic.com Contact me to order Black CBS or Grey Bottom early CBS.
