Renowned pickup guru Tim Shaw designed Fender's V-Mod Stratocaster pickups using a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types. The pickups in this set are calibrated for the best possible performance, whether used alone or in combination, and are designed specifically for each position and carefully crafted to deliver top-notch tone that modern musicians will appreciate.
In the neck pickup, the alnico 2 under the bass strings and alnico 3 magnets under the high strings provide the richness and clarity you expect from the neck pickup. Featuring alnico 2 magnets on the bass side and alnico 5 magnets on the treble side, the reverse-wound, reverse-polarity center pickup cancels hum when used in position 2 or 4. The bridge pickup is powered exclusively by alnico magnets 5. Each pickup features a distinctive tone, tempered with vintage-style warmth, and the crisp, clear tone that has made Fender legendary.
