Haynes Golden Root 1957 Stratocaster pickup set

The Strat tone you've been chasing — finally found.

The Haynes Goldern Root 1957 pickup set  is the result of years of research, winding, and listening. Hand-wound by Neil Haynes in the UK since 2010, these pickups are built for players who know the difference between a pickup that's made and one that's crafted.

Wound with 42 AWG single enamel wire on staggered Alnico 5 magnets with a vintage bevel, this set captures the bright, snappy, and articulate character of the early Stratocaster — crisp attack, tight lows, and that signature quack in the in-between positions. Lower output levels keep the tone open and dynamic, responding beautifully to pick attack and amp drive. Every set is wax potted as standard to eliminate microphonic squeal.

One maker. Zero shortcuts.
