Stratocaster P&Pickups

A complete range of pickups inspired by times that matter in the electric guitar story

P&Pickups, it's some scatter-winding pickups handmade in my little workshop of the north of France. I use tradtional components coming for a major part from the USA. These pickups are winding with vintage wires like Heavy Formvar or Plain Enamel. The magnets are selected and magnetized by myself. I use vintage cloth wire for all these pickups and rubber spacers. All these pickups are available for left-handed players. They are available free of charge with different covers : parchment, white, cream, mint or black. It's also possible to obtain another finish (including relic).

These pickups are available individually, by a set of three or on a complete pickguard ready to set on the P&P online shop.

L-Series

These pickups are the exact reproduction of Fender pickups built between 57 and 62. They are scatter winding with US heavy formvar wire. The magnets are Alnico 5. They are precisely the specs of the early 60's Fender pickups.

Sound characteristics :
- percussive sound, exceptional dynamics,
- Bright and crystalline, not excessive in clean sound

It's the perfect pickup for a clean sound, even if crunch is also interesting.
