ST-Style Pickups
Als wohl am meisten kopierter Vintagetonabnehmer war der Bau eines Stratpickups eine besondere Herausforderung. Ziel ist es, den alten Vintagesound in seinen vielen Facetten zum Klingen zu bringen. Dies gelingt durch eine lückenlose Kontrolle der Bauteile und der Herstellungvorgänge.
Replacementpickups für Stratocaster sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen erhältlich. Verwendet werden zumeist die bekannten Magnetmaterialien Alnico 5 und Alnico 2. Jeder Satz besteht aus drei verschiedenen Pickups, der Widerstand nimmt zum Steg hin zu, der Mittlere ist "reversed wound" und hat "reversed Polarity". Lieferbar sind die Pickups gestaggered, mit flat Pole, lefthand, Winding und Polarity frei wählbar. Alle Pickups sind im Vakuumbad gewachst und mit einem hochwertigen Vintagekabel versehen. Jeder Pickup wird in Einzelanfertigung hergestellt und kontrolliert. Die Pickups der Classic- und Bluesserie sind handgewickelt, der Draht wird handgeführt, dadurch wird die Wicklung sehr locker. Dies macht sich soundmäßig durch sehr milde Mitten, kräftige Bässe und sehr klare Höhen bemerkbar.
Preisliste:
ST Classic
The classic vintage Strat sound with Alnico5s - crystal clear, beautifully crisp highs - you'll hear every nuance of the Strat tone. This is a sweetly-balanced Strat sound. With Alnico2s, the sound is a little milder and slightly compressed in comparison to the Alnico5 sound, which is somewhat tighter and glassier.
ST Blues
These PU's are wound with extra wire for a higher output. Balanced, accentuated mids, but still with unmistakable Strat sound characteristics. Ideal for players who want a Strat sound with that little bit more 'oomph'. The Alnico5s create a tighter and glassier sound than the Alnico2s.
ST BigMag
The broader magnets and extra winding of this pickup combine to create a big sound, reminiscent of the P90 - full-bodied with a powerful bite and clear transparency - ideal for boosting a Strat without the need for wood and/or PU slot work. The pickups are matched to the individual positions (neck, middle, bridge) - meaning that the output becomes louder (balanced, of course) as you go from the neck to the bridge - and the spacing is also matched to the individual positions. This pickup is available in black, white or cream. Pole pieces in gold are also available on request.
Häussel Klingen Pickups
"Blade" pickups are noiseless humbuckers for single-coil PU slots. The traditional version is available, with low resistance and a crystal clear sound. These PUs sound very funky when split. The Hot ceramic magnet version sounds pleasingly powerful with lots of drive – when split, it's reminiscent of a bluesy single-coil.
The Classic version with Alnico magnets is oriented on the classic humbucker sound -
soft and warm – and is available with Alnico5s or Alnico2s. The PUs come equipped with a
4-conductor cable - they are available in the standard black design, and with slit covers in 6 different colours. You can also order Blade PUs in "gold-effect".
ST Classic/Blues Options
Magnet materials can be combined within a set - and even on an individual pickup. You could use Alnico5s for your bass strings and Alnico2s for the others, for example. The pickups are matched to their individual positions (neck, middle, bridge) - meaning that the output becomes louder (balanced, of course) as you go from the neck to the bridge. Bridge pickups can be fitted with a baseplate on request. Wood covers and gold pole pieces are also available on request and all PU's can be supplied with staggered or curved magnets and with traditional or straight base plates, "Normal" or "TrueSpace". All these pickups are vacuum-waxed.
