Proper Pickups™ “South of the Border”

Hand-wound Stratocaster Pickup Set

Lifetime Warranty Included. If you ever have a defective pickup, simply send it back and we'll replace it with a brand new one.

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

Think of it as a slightly hotter version of our '64 Closetcaster set.

More push. More vocal mids. A little more attitude.

These pickups stay open, dynamic, and responsive while giving your amp just a little more to work with. They clean up beautifully with your volume knob, respond naturally to your picking, and never lose the clarity that makes a great Strat so much fun to play.

From Jalisco to Boston, this set was designed to cover just about everything. Blues, reggae, indie, soul, garage rock, classic rock, funk, alternative, psychedelic—you name it. They're equally at home on stage, in the studio, or plugged into your favorite amp at home.

• .033 Paper-in-Oil capacitor

• 220pF treble bleed capacitor
