Eternal Fixxer Stratocaster Pickup Set
Developed for Jamie West-Oram of The Fixx — Balanced, Bright & Bold
Designed in collaboration with Jamie West-Oram of the legendary band The Fixx, the Eternal Fixxer Pickup Set was crafted to deliver the perfect blend of clarity, presence, and vintage-inspired warmth — tailored specifically to Jamie’s stereo chorus tones and expressive playing style.
Originally fitted to Jamie’s Fender Custom Shop ’62 Reissue Strat, these pickups were developed to add just the right amount of extra punch and tonal weight, while preserving the articulate highs and clean, open mids essential to Jamie’s sound. Whether you’re chasing his signature shimmer or carving out your own voice, the Fixxer Set delivers.
A Refined Take on Classic Early-‘60s Strat Tone
We started with the foundation of our highly acclaimed Timeless '60s Strat pickups, known for their sweet highs, balanced mids, and dynamic response. From there, we carefully adjusted the magnet height, coil winds, and overall voicing to create a set with slightly boosted output at the neck and bridge, while keeping the middle pickup wound to vintage spec.
This ensures maximum clarity in the in-between positions, preserving that unmistakable Strat quack, while offering more punch and presence where it counts — all without losing the classic sparkle and articulation that makes vintage Strat pickups so special.
Jamie-Approved Design
Jamie’s reaction said it all — his original plan to keep the Fixxers on a spare pickguard was abandoned once he heard them in action. Instead, they became the permanent voice of his Custom Shop Strat, providing the perfect tonal platform for his iconic layered sound. Now, that very same tone is available to you.
