Eternal Timeless '64 Stratocaster Pickup Set
Bell-Like Clarity and Vintage Sweetness — The Sound of 1964
Using era-correct materials and hand-wound craftsmanship, this set brings the warmth, sparkle, and dynamic sensitivity of a great set of 1964 pickups into your hands — with all the rich harmonics and expressive detail only truly hand-made pickups can deliver.
Vintage-Correct Materials & Boutique Craftsmanship
Every detail has been faithfully recreated, from the bevelled Imperial Alnico 5 magnets to the grey-bottom flatwork that defines mid-‘60s Fender construction. Each coil is scatter-wound by hand using authentic Heavy Formvar wire, the signature ingredient behind the glassy high-end and clear note separation that made early-‘60s Strat pickups legendary.
The result? A pickup set that rings like a bell, with pristine highs, warm lows, and the perfect touch of vintage compression — the very essence of a 1964 Strat.
Available as either a matched set of three or as individual pickups, each Eternal Timeless '64 is wound to balance perfectly across positions — ensuring smooth, consistent output and tonal character whether you’re playing in the neck, middle, or bridge position.
