Fralin Vintage Hots: Real Vintage Strat Tone.
If you’re looking for the purest Stratocaster tone, look no further than these pickups right here!
Vintage Hots have a warm, balanced midrange with lots of sparkle and clarity on the top, guaranteeing you’ll stand out in the mix.
They give you a balanced 50’s Tone: a smooth balance between bright and fat.
Vintage Hots fit in the middle sonically of Lindy Fralin's Real 54s and Blues Specials.
The tone cuts through with distortion while remaining very dynamic and thick.
Expect a precise low-end and an acute attack. Single notes cut through with ease, while chords have an excellent string-to-string definition.
Lindy Fralin's manufacturing process allows for unparalleled quality control. Each pickup is wound by hand, one at a time.
Everything is era-authentic: wound with USA-made 42-gauge Formvar-enameled wire and built with USA-made AlNiCo V magnets.
Finally, pickups are wax-potted to preserve the pickup and prevent microphonics.
Make your Stratocaster sound like a Strat should with Lindy Fralin’s Vintage Hots!
