Description

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. Vintage white pickup covers. Slightly less aged/yellow than the aged white. 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.
