FenderEric Johnson Stratocaster Pickup Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed with Eric Johnson and Fender R&D, this Stratocaster SSS set gives each position its own design. The neck draws from a 1954-style pickup with oversized Alnico 3 magnets, while the reverse-wound middle pickup cancels hum when combined with the neck or bridge. At the bridge, Alnico 5 magnets support a hotter voice while retaining the set’s described top-end sparkle. The pickups are voiced for clean, dirty rhythm, and lead sounds with slightly hotter output than typical vintage pickups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stratocaster SSS setups moving between clean parts, dirty rhythm work, and lead tones.
- Using neck-plus-middle or middle-plus-bridge combinations where hum cancellation is wanted.
