Classic 50s Alnico 5

Bright, open, and articulate

This is a classic low-to-medium output setup for that bell-like Strat ring. Bright, open, and clear with plenty of note separation.

It’s loaded with a set of my hand-wound pickups in the ’50s to early ’60s range, along with CTS pots, a genuine Fender 5-way switch, and vintage-style cloth wiring. It’s finished off with a K40Y-9 Russian paper-in-oil capacitor.

No plastic film here. The pickguard is clean and ready to go.
