The Tonerider Pure Vintage single coil pickup set is the perfect upgrade for players in love with that warm, vintage Stratocaster® tone. Never harsh, full of chime and equally at home with clean or dirty amp settings, the Pure Vintage has defined our approach to pickup making for more than 20 years.

To recapture the warmth and complexity of the best vintage instruments, this was the first set designed using our pioneering multi-step scatterwinding process. This process allows us to unevenly distribute the heavy 42 gauge magnet wire and vary the tension of the coil — perfectly mimicking the handwound pickups of the 1950s. The bridge pickup is slightly overwound for a more even output balance with the neck and middle pickups, while avoiding overly harsh trebles.

The Pure Vintage set uses a modified vintage magnet stagger, setting the pole heights to allow for a natural string-to-string volume balance on a wide range of instruments. Flat pole options are available for guitars with flatter fingerboards.

Included in the box: Latex tubing, two sets of #6/32 screws (panhead for modern pickguards and countersunk for vintage pickguards), springs, installation guide and warranty card.
