The two most successful pickups from Seymour Duncan are combined here in one set. In contrast to the early models, polycarbonate coils, sand-cast magnets, base plates with short legs and 4-wire shielded connection cables are used here.
With the California 50's, Seymour Duncan presents a calibrated pickup set that uncompromisingly follows the motto "as authentic as possible". These 3 matched SS®L-1 Vintage staggered single coils have AlNiCo V magnets reproduced in the style of the 50s, which ensure the optimum realisation of country twang, blues phrases and, if required, classic rock.
Single-coil pickup with a lot of power. Hand-polished 1/4" polepieces and lots of coil windings ensure maximum output and a balanced frequency response with extra punchy mids. Produces more sustain than the Vintage (SJAG-1) and Hot (SJAG-2) models. Ideal for blues, classic rock, garage, heavy rock, classic metal and nu-metal.
Guitarists rave about the unmistakable tone of the pickups developed by Cory Wong, which he uses in his characteristic Fender Stratocaster®. Since emerging in the late 2000s, Cory Wong has established himself as a master of tone and technique. His signature Clean Machine set supports the diverse range of tones he's known for - glassy vintage cleans, warm, soulful rhythms and singing leads. The Clean Machine set includes a hum-free stack bridge pickup with Alnico 5 magnets. The middle and neck pickups are fitted with Alnico 4 magnets, which ensure a balanced tone. All three pickups are overwound and carefully voiced to fulfil the requirements of all funk and soul disciples.

Similar to a '59 model, but with a richer low bass range and more power. The SH-14 was developed by our internet user group. They replaced the ceramic and AlNico 2 magnets of the SH-5 Custom and SH-11 Custom with magnets made of AlNico 5 material. If you compare it with the SH-5 and SH-11, the SH-14 has more of a vintage sound, less distortion, but still plenty of strength and power in the tone. Undistorted, it sounds warm and full, with a splash of additional presence. The precise alignment of the trembucker's magnetic poles improves the balance between the strings to achieve a consistent, modern sound even with Floyd Rose or similar vibrato systems. Ideal for pop, country, blues, classic rock and heavy rock.
The patented design eliminates hum and preserves the classic sound. The revolutionary design reliably eliminates the dreaded 50Hz hum. The great classic Strat® sound is retained. Ideal for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock.
The most popular "hot" humbucker of all, and has been for over 30 years. Delivers a banging output with singing highs, aggressive overtones and just the right balance of sustain and distortion. From sweet, warm sounds to raw rock 'n' roll, the SH-4 or TB-4 gets to the heart of the matter. If you prefer it with softer highs, simply use 250 kOhm pots. The precise alignment of the trembucker's magnetic poles improves the balance between the strings to achieve a consistent, modern sound even with Floyd Rose or similar vibrato systems. Ideal for anything powerful from blues rock to heavy metal.
