Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix Strat Pickup Set

On a cold evening in March 1968, Jimi Hendrix asked a young Seymour W. Duncan to bring his guitar on stage. That Strat was equipped with pickups that Seymour had hand-wound specifically for Jimi, and that unforgettable night would forever mark Seymour's future.

Today, you can get a little closer to the legendary sound of Jimi with the Jimi Hendrix™ Signature Strat Set and the Jimi Hendrix™ Signature loaded pickguard.

Just like Jimi's music, the Jimi Hendrix Signature Strat Set of pickups is rooted in tradition, yet with an eye towards modern times.

Each pickup features custom windings for the best sound in its intended position.

The bridge pickup has an aggressive attack and is perfect for solos. The neck pickup, thick and full, is great for chords and blues melodies, as well as for Jimi's signature mixed chord-melody lines.

The intermediate positions are perfect for the classic Strat sounds.

To help you better achieve Jimi's sound, each pickup has reverse-polarity magnets, replicating the effect of left-hand picking on a right-handed guitar.
