Here’s a set of our “The McCready” Stratocaster pickups — the exact same set featured in our loaded pickguards, now available on their own. This is the exact set you’ll receive. Parchment pickup covers. 52mm spacing

The McCready set was designed to solve the biggest issue with most Strats: a weak, thin, or harsh bridge pickup nobody actually wants to use. This set is what should come in the Fender MIM McCready Stratocaster. 

 We kept the output right around 6.1-6.2k across all three pickups and carefully paired Alnico 2 and Alnico 4 magnets to create a balanced, articulate response that stays smooth under any gain level. No shrill top end, no ice pick highs — with a bridge pickup that's genuinely just as usable as the other two. 

This is the set for people who want balance and clarity without the typical Stratocaster brightness. 

What to expect:

• Neck: warm, vocal, and clear without getting muddy
• Middle: balanced and glassy with excellent clarity
• Bridge: full, smooth, and usable without harshness 

Included with the set:

• 220pF treble bleed capacitor
• Genuine .033uF paper-in-oil capacitor
• Mounting screws
• Rubber tubing

Super easy to install. Grab a soldering iron and do it yourself or bring it to your favorite guitar tech! Here to help.
