This pickguard is for those who prefer the classic Strat sounds. As an upgrade, it delivers the open, warm and musical vintage tones your instrument deserves.

Wound with salvaged 1963 USSR 0.060mm coil wire, the neck pickup produces the most amazing vintage sound imaginable. The very first notes you play will reveal you're dealing with premium-grade single coils.
No doubt, it shines most on a vintage Strat, but it can also add that retro tone charm to modern guitars if they're built from really good-sounding wood.
It will feature everything you expect from an excellent-sounding vintage Strat single coil: the iconic "Twang," clear highs, rich mids, and impressive lows. In most circumstances, you won't even need to tweak the controls. Nothing to subtract, nothing to add.

Our journey didn't begin with some grand ambition to reinvent the industry. It started with a simple goal: restoring a 1954 Strat pickup that had gone silent.
Anyone who has chased that sound knows the urgency and emotion behind that pursuit. You feel it in your chest when you finally get it right.
Using unexpectedly salvaged vintage wire and drawing from audiophile experience, that restoration produced remarkable results. What began as a one-time repair evolved into a full-blown passion. Experimenting, refining, sharing great tone with fellow players, and gradually realizing we could offer something genuinely special to the guitar community.
Inspired by the legendary 1954 Fender single coils, we developed pickups with authentic vintage voicing. Warm, open, rich in articulation. Exactly like the originals, but built with consistent quality.

We believe great vintage pickups sound open, warm, balanced, and natural. They allow the instrument to "breathe" and project a full, expressive voice.
Through extensive testing and deep study of magnetic behavior, we've worked to recreate that unmistakable character. Clear, dynamic, alive. The result is a tone that feels immediate, musical, and responsive to your every touch.

The Middle Strat pickup is widely considered not as Iconic as other positions and is the most overlooked and underutilized pickup. This isn't the case with this model; it is ideal for classic Strat tones and will not fail to please.
It’s like a "happy medium" avoiding deep warmth of the neck and the piercing bite of the bridge. Strong midrange "honk" and dazzling bell-like clarity characterize its clean, slightly hollow, yet forceful tone.
Wound with salvaged 1960s USSR 0,060 mm coil wire is most likely our finest Middle pickup we’ve yet made.
The tone is incredibly rich, packed with hidden layers of sonic detail and subtle nuances that reveal themselves with every extra hour of playtime.
This highly responsive Middle adapts perfectly to your touch with all nuances of your playing. It is genuinely inspiring to hear how incredible the Middle position can sound when it's done right.

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 low E string forms the foundation of your sound, and when it's right, you feel it. Tight and controlled, with a solid "Thump" instead of an overwhelming "Boom."
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.

There's no need to define it in words. Only sheer emotions, because it sounds full, strong, and awesome.
The bridge is essential for rock and blues, especially lead solos. A decent-sounding pickup is crucial in that position. Neck pickups typically sound okay or acceptable, but an inferior bridge pickup can drag down a guitar's overall impression.
Fender's original design included a single size pickup in all spots, including the slanted one at the bridge. You notice that the strings don't travel directly over the middle of the pole pieces, especially over the 1st and 2nd strings. This causes an out-of-focus sound.

Special care has been given to the 2nd and 4th positions. They're often overlooked, but they have so much character with the Kinetic Prewired Loaded Pickguards.
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.
It's amazing how these pickups show different shades depending on the style of music you play. It's a unique situation where the pickups evolve into their own instrument that you can learn to play and use. They shine most when played by a skilled guitarist, allowing for more expressive artistic self-expression.
All 5 positions respond 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.

Retro Tone Charm

We’ve sourced rare 1963 USSR coil wire 0,060 mm. It delivers exceptional vintage character – classic “Twang,” “Bottle,” and expressive tonal nuances.
Due to its rarity, pickups made with this wire are extremely limited.
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.
Combined with vintage 1960s lead wires and specially manufactured magnets that recreate the original magnetic field, these pickups produce wonders.
This isn't some mass-produced recreation with marketing hype attached. This is the real deal, and we guarantee this model will give you the most authentic vintage tone imaginable.
