On a chilly evening in March of 1968, Jimi Hendrix asked a young Seymour W. Duncan to walk his guitar up onstage. That Strat was loaded with pickups Seymour had made just for Jimi, and that unforgettable night would set in motion Seymours future – and his legacy almost five decades later. Now you can be a bit closer to Jimis world with their Hendrix Loaded Pickguards.
The Hendrix Loaded Pickguard (Standard Route) houses those pickups in a pre-loaded 3-ply white pickguard with reverse-angle bridge pickup route. Like Jimis music, the Hendrix Strat Set pickups have their roots in the traditional but with an eye on the future.
Each is custom wound for a richer, melodic tone: the bridge model has an aggressive attack that cuts through while staying true to his iconic lead tone. The neck pickup sounds thick and full and is great for chord work, bluesy melodies, double-stops and Jimis signature hybrid chord/melody style. And in the in-between positions theres plenty of that classic Strat quack.
To help you to get even closer to Jimis earth-shattering tone, each pickup is made with a reverse magnet stagger to capture the effect of playing a right-handed guitar upside-down and restrung for a lefty.
The 3-ply white Hendrix Loaded Pickguard features 250K pots, a 5-way pickup selector switch and .047 caps.
