Strat-style Pickup Kit

Strat-style Pickup Kit

Want to build your own classic Strat-style pickup? This kit includes all the essential components to make a traditional-style pickup with Alnico 5 magnets, a 52 mm fiber bobbin, and a plastic cover.

The kit is suitable for any of the three positions (bridge, middle, or neck). Magnetic polarity and orientation are not preconfigured, allowing you to adjust them based on the type of pickup you want to build. You can create a RWRP middle pickup, a hotter bridge model, or a softer neck pickup—everything depends on your winding method and magnet setup.

It includes screws, rubber spacers, cloth-covered wire, and five different pole lengths so you can replicate vintage configurations or experiment with your own. You can choose from three plastic covers: white, ivory, or mint.
