- Extra Power - Quarter inch rod magnets give this pickup extra output and punch, while the staggered pole pattern delivers an edgier tone with gritty midrange.

- Sparkly Midrange Harmonics - Hand polished Alnico 5 rod magnets deliver sparkly midrange harmonics, great sustain, and big, full chords.
- Versatile Setup - Use a set of three for a huge sounding Strat setup, or pair with SSL-5 Custom Staggered Strat in the neck and middle for added versatility.
- Made in the USA - Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, this Quarter Pound Staggered Strat pickup features hand built bobbins using a custom high-output coil wind, diameter Alnico 5 rod magnets, and are wax potted for squeal free performance.
