NOS 90s Van Zandt Stratocaster Blues Model Pickup

Van Zandt Pickups was started by W.L. Van Zandt in the late 1980's, but he had been repairing pickups around the Dallas/Ft.Worth area since the early 1960's. Mr. Van Zandt worked for years as a machinist and played guitar in country bands since the 1950's. He started rewinding the magnets on pickups for friends and other players, and pretty soon he had a small business going as his reputation grew by word of mouth


If you like it cool like a cactus julep on a warm Austin night, you'll cotton to this Blues Model. Your strat will retain its famous tone with a brightness and fullness bigger than the prairie moon over the Rio Grande.


Built to capture the blues sound this pickup is attack sensitive and responds to very light pick attack, as well as having a lot of snap with a heavy attack. The Blues Model can be mellow or bright depending on the style of play and possesses full midrange without sacrificing the high end.
