Proper Pickups “South of the Border”
Handwound Stratocaster Pickup Set — Lifetime Warranty Included. If you send us back the defective pickup, we ship you out a brand new one.

The South of the Border set was built after years of chasing the perfect balance between vintage Strat clarity and a little more authority in the mids.

This is essentially a slightly hotter version of our 1964 Closetcaster set.
More push. More vocal midrange. More attitude.
Still covers all of the bases.

These pickups stay open, dynamic, and responsive while giving your amp a little something extra.

From Jalisco up to Boston — this set was designed to cover everything in between. Blues, reggae, indie, soul, garage rock, classic rock, funk, alternative, psychedelic stuff… these just work.
