Current Lead Times
Our most heralded set! Wound to provide a balance of highs and mid range to give a real big Strat® sound. While the sound may be big and fat, the tone is clear and warm allowing players to really push their amps.
The ’59 Overwound provide similar characteristics to the 1956-1957 set but with a seasoned touch of mid range giving it a hotter and bigger sound, much like our favorite from Austin!
The set, like our others, comes calibrated to offer a balance across your Strat®. The middle is reverse wound/reverse polarity to offer hum canceling in the notch positions 2 and 4 as well as that sweet “quack” tone.

Wham!
I bought the calibrated set of these along with some other hardware upgrades to create a blues-type strat that would have enough personality to warrant a name. "Little Stevie" sure has his good thang, now.

Tone for Miles
I replaced the middle pup in my Frankenstrat with an overwound 59 and voila! It sounds like a new axe! Great sound, clear highs, no mud lows. I will definitely purchase again in the future

Great Service
