These pickups are handwound to be exact replicas of the pickups Kent Armstrong wound for Rory Gallagher. A unique feature is an added coil tap wire for extreme low output that was intended to be used specifically while in recording sessions and functions as a direct input into a mixing desk without the need of an external DI box. If you are looking for that extraordinary Strat tone, look no further. Now you can get the tone you have been searching for without having to buy a signature series instrument. Comes with aged white pickup covers.
