Important: Please contact us before ordering to agree the specs of pickguard that suits your guitar as installation holes may vary. Also, the color of pickguard and knobs.
Every pickup maker expresses their own interpretation of tone. Like giving the same ingredients to ten cooks, the outcome will always vary.
We offer our own vision for Strat pickups – rooted in musicality, balance, and feel. We drew our inspirations from the eras past and have made every effort to recreate the vintage tones in our products.
We believe great vintage pickups sound open, warm, balanced, and natural—allowing the instrument to “breathe” and project a full, expressive voice.
Through extensive testing and study of magnetic behavior, we’ve worked to recreate that unmistakable character—clear, dynamic, and alive. The result is a tone that feels immediate, musical, and responsive.
Wound with 43AWG wire, the Neck delivers that upper-edge "sting" or "snarl" often associated with vintage Fender-style pickups. 43AWG pickups emphasize midrange frequencies, which best define the guitar sound. Compared to standard 42AWG wire, 43AWG coil wire sounds brighter and more focused.
Authentic 1950s Strat pickups are celebrated not only for their tone but for their incredible dynamic range and clarity.
Our designs emphasize articulation and responsiveness. Careful selection of magnets, winding patterns, and materials allows for exceptional string-to-string balance and expressive playing dynamics.
Kinetic Pickups are built for musicians who want their playing nuance to come through. They make you a better player simply by responding so honestly to what you do. Ideal for expressive, professional performance.
Magnet quality plays a critical role in tone. Inferior modern magnets can restrict string vibration and produce dull or harsh results.
We use specially manufactured magnets designed to replicate the composition and behavior of vintage originals. This helps achieve the characteristic frequency response and feel associated with classic pickups. Every component is considered, every choice deliberate.
The middle pickup wound with 43 AWG wire produces a slightly compressed but warmer, punchier tone. The well-pronounced mids add musicality and good articulation.
It's very responsive and reacts beautifully to your individual playing style. It's quite inspiring to discover what the middle pickup can actually sound like when it's done right.
The Bridge is essential for rock/blues, especially lead solos, and the best sounding pickup is crucial in that position.
Wound with 43AWG wire, the Bridge pickup adds power and presence – ideal for solos that need to cut through. Compared to 42AWG pickups, it naturally smooths out harsh, "ice-pick" highs with a touch of musical compression, resulting in a tone that stays clear, full, and pleasing without ever becoming brittle.
We strongly believe that the best use of this Soviet-era 0.050 coil wire is in the bridge position, as it drives overdrive pedals harder, smoothly translating into a sweet singing lead tone with beautiful long sustain.
The 2nd and 4th positions sound different with 43AWG than they do with 42AWG. Depending on your playing style, you can open new shades and tones for artistic expression.
Designed in a hum-canceling configuration, these positions retain their signature tone without the typical volume drop or excessive phase thinning found in standard setups.
You’ll find these tones useful for your sonic palette – a true enhancement delivering higher output with strong midrange and focused power.
This is exactly what you need if you're after a stunning upgrade that can truly transform your instrument with new “hot sounds”.
It responds nicely to gentle or punchy playing and can sound sweet or forceful at the same amp settings, based solely on your ability to control and pick notes.
It will expand the scope of your expressive powers and playing talents on a whole new level.
This isn't some mass-produced recreation with marketing hype attached. This is the real deal, an excellent weapon for both classic and modern edge overdriven sounds.
Kinetic Pickups are built for musicians who want their playing nuance to come through – making them ideal for technically challenging styles and professional performance.
- Thinner 43AWG for the Neck 8.7k resistance, 2.3 Henry inductance
- Thinner 43AWG for the Middle 9.1k resistance, 2.4 Henry inductance
- Thinner 43AWG for the Bridge 9.6k resistance, 2.5 Henry inductance
As the 0,050 mm (43AWG) wire is much thinner, making it easy to achieve extremely high DC resistance numbers. This allows more turns on a bobbin, greatly increasing output while maintaining a compact physical profile.
43 AWG — More output, stronger midrange, a harder edge. Cuts through a band mix. Works well with overdrive without getting woolly. The extra output means less chain noise and more direct signal, which matters when you're competing with drums and bass for sonic space. The midrange push means your guitar sits higher in the mix without getting harsh, and the harder edge means overdrive responds more consistently, the pickup drives the amp rather than getting lost in the noise floor. If you're playing rock, if you're playing in a band context, if you want your guitar to lead rather than support, this is worth trying.
It’s the best choice for creating "hot" pickups without sacrificing clarity.
Although they have some compression effect, they are ideal for shredding and technically demanding styles.
From the very first note, players feel it – the unmistakable “Wow Effect”.
Some guitarists prefer higher output right away, assuming it sounds better and louder. Many claim it makes the whole experience feel smooth, effortless, and natural.
The Bass Response: The quickest way to test a Strat’s sound quality is hit the low E string. As it forms the foundation of your instrument’s voice, and when it's right, you feel it. Tight and controlled, with a solid "Thump" instead of an overwhelming "Boom."
The "Bottle Sound": If you love Strats, you've probably heard that amazing "Bottle Sound" in the 12th fret position. Since this sound depends not just on pickups but also on instrument quality, some exceptional Strats exhibit this "Bottle Sound" practically throughout the fretboard. That's the target we're aiming for.
String Bending: The moment you play a bending note, you'll hear your guitar singing back to you with a beautiful sweet sustain.
Chord Clarity: Every note in a chord sounds distinct and perfectly placed, without overlapping or cluttering, yet they blend together into a beautiful harmony of a stunning flawless chord.
Handcrafted Kinetic Pickups are built around the art of true vintage tone. Open, warm, balanced and natural – these pickups are designed to let your sound breathe.
By reacting instantly to your playing, they respond dynamically accurate, helping you shape expressive and inspiring tones.
