Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster Electric Guitar Pickups

No longer available at zZounds
Drop this pickup set into your Strat for instant EJ tonal magic. While hotter than usual vintage single-coils, these pickups still retain a dynamic feel.

Fender's R&D engineers worked closely with world renowned guitarist and tone connoisseur Eric Johnson to craft the perfect pickups for his uniquely articulate sound. Carefully blending Leo's legacy with EJ's modern discerning sonic tastes, these Strat pickups are a key element of EJ's unmistakably pure tone. Each pickup is unique in structure and performance. The neck pickup is based on a '54 Strat pickup with oversized alnico 3 magnets. The middle pickup, based on a '63 Strat pickup, uses specially treated alnico magnets and is reverse wound to cancel hum when used with the neck or bridge pickup. The bridge pickup uses alnico 5 magnets and is specially voiced to be hotter without sacrificing that sweet top end sparkle. With slightly hotter output than typical vintage pickups and a powerful combination of magnets, these sonically potent and highly dynamic pickups produce the perfect balance of clean, dirty rhythm and lead tones to satisfy all level of players, through any amplifier.

I'm a Strat/Tele builder/player and have tried many pickups. Without mentioning names I will say that the EJ pickups are my favorite. They have balls and retain the glass and sparkle. They are my go to pickups now.
