Hand-Wound Stratocaster® Ancho Poblano Pickups
What’s behind the spicy sound of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Stratocaster® Ancho Poblano pickups? It’s simple: The secret’s in
the sauce.
Available as fiery new option for Custom Shop builds, Ancho Poblano Stratocaster pickups are a special sonic recipe, with each pickup individually calibrated from neck to bridge. Each pickup is also uniquely overwound by hand for a wide range of high-output tones. That makes them ideal for the player in search of the perfect amount of heat—from vintage with a kick to Texas-style bold to full-throttle blistering—and plenty of flexibility.
No matter how serious the spice, every buttery note and nuance of Ancho Poblano pickups shines at any volume. It’s all thanks to a super-secret formula in which the pickups are “simmered,” offering plenty of texture, resonance and complexity—even when the tone is at its most punishing.
