Full Description
With unrivalled clarity and great dynamics, the Surfari set mimics the earliest of Stratocaster sounds - right back to the mid 50s. The Alnico 3 magnets also make for a solid mid-range, with less "scoop" than more modern magnets.
The Surfari set uses rod magnets with our "Modified Vintage Stagger" allowing for great string to string balance on a wide range of instruments.
Each pickup is fully wax potted to reduce any microphonic feedback, and comes supplied with screws, latex height adjustment tubing and an installation guide.

Customer Reviews
Sounds great clean and with gain, affordable, shipped fast. Highly recommend.
Bought the Surfari Strat set for a new project (Strat partscaster ) Will be a few months before I've finished the neck and body but mounted them on the new scrathplate with its new pots etc. and stuck them on an existing Strat for evaluation. I'm very pleased with the tonal response both individually and paired selections. Throughly recommend
Surfari pickups just amazing! That tone is exactly what I was looking for!
Just put these into a SE Squire. I also upgraded the Pots, and cap.
And switch.I am so impressed by the sound of these. They are the sound I wanted. The difference is like chalk and cheese. From the muddy stock Sqiure pups. To a lovely chime strat tones. I have a custom shop telecaster. I honestly prefer the squire. This is no lie
I have had guitar a few pickups and regardless of price Tonerider pups always hold their own. These Surfaris for my Strat have that 50's Vibe in spades. Most importantly to me though is their great quack in 2 and 4 positions. I use these a lot. The Surfaris NAIL IT!!!
