SEYMOUR DUNCAN SSL521b FiveTwo for Strat CustBdg

This staggered singlecoil uses a mix of Alnico 2 and 5 rod magnets specifically positioned for sweet highs and tight lows. The result is a supermusical twist on the classiStratocaster pickup. The FiveTwo classiStratocaster pickup was originally designed for Nashville studio players who wanted to soften the treble attack on their high strings while retaining all of the articulate snap on the low strings. The solution was a mixture of Alnico 2 and Alnico 5 rod magnets that delivers the best of both worlds. The Alnico 2 rods under the G, B, and E strings provide a sweetened treble response while the Alnico 5s under the low E, A, and D strings keep them sounding clear and crisp. The customwound bridge pickup is slightly hotter exactly what a bridge singlecoil needs and is calibrated for fullbodied sustain and a stronger attack. Add to it the FiveTwo neck pickup and FiveTwo custom RWRP middle pickup and the complete set produces glorious Strat tone with humfree operation in positions 2 and 4. Like all of our vintage Fenderstyle singlecoil pickups, we start with the right color and thickness of Forbon flatwork. Along with the periodcorrect magnet stagger, this pickup comes complete with waxed and tinned cloth pushback hookup wires and traditional keyed bottom plate. We hand file the flatwork, assemble, and lacquer the bobbin just as it was done during Fender's Golden Age of classiStratocaster pickups.
