Haynes Golden Root 1963 Stratocaster pickup set

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

The Haynes Golden Root 1963 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, each set delivers that unmistakable 60s Strat character — glassy bell-like cleans, warm neck tones, and a balanced middle that sits perfectly in the mix. Scatter winding adds natural variation in capacitance for a richer, more three-dimensional tone that machine-wound pickups simply can't replicate. Every set is wax-potted as standard to eliminate microphonic squeal.

One maker. Zero shortcuts.
