APS-1 Alnico II Pro for Strat

Alnico II Pro Staggered Strat Pickup Bridge/Middle/Neck

Classic Stratocaster Pickup

This Stratocaster pickup (APS1) delivers all the chime and bell tone enjoyed by Strat players in the 50s, but with a sweeter sounding treble attack.

The Alnico 2 Pro Staggered single coil Stratocaster pickup uses hand ground alnico 2 rod magnets with a traditional staggered pattern, and heavy Formvar mag wire with a special wind pattern to produce that classic bouncy tone you’d expect from the best 50s Strat pickups. The treble attack is soft and sweet, the mids feel just slightly scooped, while the low end has a vintage sponginess. Chords have a nice smoothness and single notes have a singing, musical character.

Like all our vintage Fender-style single coil pickups, we start with the right color and thickness of Forbon flatwork. Along with the period correct magnet stagger, this pickups comes complete with waxed and tinned cloth pushback hook-up wires and traditional keyed bottom plate. The bobbins on all the Alnico 2 Pro Staggered for Stratocaster pickups feature hand-filed flatwork, are assembled and lacquered just as it was done during Fenders Golden Age, and are wax potted for squeal free use.

Neck/Middle/Bridge position models will have the same output, wind direction and magnetic polarity.
