Pickups For ST Style Guitars

The City Limits set is designed to offer guitarists a hotter Stratocaster® sound with unrivalled versatility. The neck and mid pickups are wound to emulate the sought-after “overwound” late 50's-style pickups that vintage collectors have found to have a rich piano-like bass and thick trebles – a tone that has become known as the "Texas" sound. The bridge pickup, however, is a departure from the standard winds and is overwound with lighter gauge AWG43 gauge wire to over 8.7k for a more modern soloing sound when used with gain or distortion, without a harsh top end. Due to advances in string technology and the wider range of modern guitar necks, the City Limits set uses our unique "Modified Vintage Stagger" polepiece magnet array allowing for near perfect string-to-string balance on the greatest range of instruments possible. Get them in any Strat® and find that hotter, fatter Texas tone you’ve been waiting for. High-Grade "Smooth-Top" Alnico Polepieces - no sharp edges!
  • Modified stagger polepieces for more accurate string-to-string balance.
  • Calibrated winding for even volume balance across all five standard positions.
  • Laser-cut, hand-bevelled flatwork.
  • USA-made vintage hook-up wire for easy installation.
  • Latex tubing and nickel-plated screws are included with every pickup.
  • All coils bound with fabric tape, removing the chance of damage.
  • All coils scatterwound on our 999-step CNC winding machines.
  • All coils wax-potted to avoid feedback at high-gain settings.
  • All sets are RWRP - offering noiseless operation in positions 2 and 4.

Before you buy

These are raw, unfinished kits from a production factory, not flat-pack furniture. Expect to sand, fill and finish your instrument yourself, and expect the occasional scratch, dent or glue spot to deal with along the way. That is the craft, and it is why the result is worth playing.

Do a mock build before you sand or paint anything. We cannot accept returns on kits that have been part-assembled, painted or stained.

New to building? Start with an ST or TL kit, where much of the wiring is already done at the factory. We would not recommend a hollow body for a first build.

Build support

You are not on your own once the box arrives. Every kit is backed by our complete instruction manual, a quick start guide, wiring diagrams for more than fifty different kits, and step-by-step videos covering finishing, soldering, hardware, assembly and setup.
