They provide mellow vintage tones but with enough bite to cut through the mix with crisp articulation, and are over-wound for a hefty low-end punch.  Alnico 2 magnets, Formvar magnet wire, period-correct cloth wire, and a fiber bobbin keep it accurate to what you would expect in a vintage Strat, with a warm, sweet output.  The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup eliminates hum for whisper-quiet performance.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther features include a 4-ply tortoise shell pickguard, vintage clay dots, a vintage bridge and tuning machines, and a bone nut.  It also includes a Custom Shop hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is an extra special Strat, and the only one out there in Surf Blue Burst.
