100% Strat, just a bit meaner!
Blues Specials are one of Lindy Fralin's best-sellers, and for a good reason!
With a thicker, warmer tone, they're perfect for balancing out a bright guitar and pushing amps hard, all while retaining the Strat tone.
With more turns per coil than Vintage Hots, these slightly overwound pickups sound a bit thicker and hotter than vintage-voiced models.
If you're looking for a thick, warm Strat sound, you'll love Blues Specials!
Plugging in, you’ll immediately get inspired by the powerful, slightly compressed, and creamy tone coming out of these pickups.
You’ll notice the tight and warm midrange coupled with crystal-clear lows and round highs.
Although they're an overwound Strat pickup, they're not too aggressive and feature a very open and dynamic tone.
Chords sound warm, with great string-to-string definition.
Cut through the mix when soloing with a thicker, rounder single note and a powerful attack.
Instantly transform your Strat into a versatile powerhouse and discover what you’ve been missing!
