In 1968 Jimi Hendrix played a Strat loaded with pickups hand-wound by
Seymour. Fifty years later we are proud to share a piece of that
history with you.
Description
On a chilly evening in March of 1968, Jimi
Hendrix asked a young Seymour W. Duncan to walk his guitar up onstage.
That Strat was loaded with pickups Seymour had wound just for Jimi, and
that unforgettable night would set in motion Seymour’s future – and his
legacy almost five decades later. Now you can be a bit closer to Jimi’s
world with the Jimi Hendrix™ Signature Strat Set.
Like Jimi’s
music, the Jimi Hendrix Signature Strat Set pickups have their roots in
the traditional but with an eye on the future. Each is custom wound for a
richer, melodic tone. The bridge model has an aggressive attack that
cuts through while staying true to his iconic lead tone. The neck pickup
sounds thick and full and is great for chord work, bluesy melodies,
double-stops and Jimi’s signature hybrid chord/melody style. And in the
in-between positions there’s plenty of that classic Strat ‘quack.’
To
help you to get even closer to Jimi’s earth-shattering tone, each
pickup is made with a reverse magnet stagger to capture the effect of
playing a right-handed guitar upside-down and restrung for a lefty.
The white pickup covers showcase Jimi’s signature. The set also comes with a commemorative booklet and stickers.
