As has been discussed before, I'm very happy to announce the official addition of the Sub-Zero Strat pickup set to my ever expanding catalogue.
These pickups are like nothing come before. A new, innovative design means these pickups capture the subtleties of P90s and combine them with the aggressive, searing bark they're known and loved for.
These revolutionary pickups combine long alnico rods with a large, overwound coils and passive filtering.
What advantages do these have over the predecessors using little bar magnets and humbucker bobbins?
- These pickups can use the correct wire type - the increased coil area allows fat 42awg wire to be used, and lots of it, to mimic the heavy winding of your typical P90, as opposed to thin wire to cram enough into small bobbins.
- These pickups have a strong magnetic field, like a P90 - previous designs couldn't harness the magnetic field strength of a double bar magnet P90, which is a fundamental part of P90 tone.
- These pickups have passive filtering - manually tweaked EQ. Easy way to get ever closer to that P90 tone.
- These pickups look just like normal Strat pickups! - No worrying about the silly cosmetics of mixing individual Sub-Zeros with your standard Strat pickups.
These pickups are designed to imitate vintage flavoured P90s. If these prove popular enough, higher output models may be explored in future.
