Summary
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 our 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.
Put a set in your Strat and prepare to be Experienced!
