The Korena take

Replacement single-coil set for a Stratocaster. For players who want more output and low-end weight than a standard vintage-spec Strat pickup gives.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Strat owners wanting fuller cleans without switching to humbuckers
  • Blues and classic rock through a driven tube amp
  • Upgrading a stock import Strat's electronics

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting bright, scooped, glassy vintage single-coil chime
  • Anyone unwilling to solder or pay a tech
  • Non-Strat guitars with different routing or pickguard layouts

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

SSS set

Three pickups, bridge/middle/neck. Drops into a standard Strat pickguard with five-way switching intact.

Detail 02

Fat '50s voicing

Hotter than plain vintage spec. More midrange and bass, so chords stay thick instead of thin.

Detail 03

White covers

Matches white or parchment pickguards. Covers can be swapped if you want a different color.

Detail 04

Stratocaster body shape

Sized for Strat routing. Won't fit Tele, Jazzmaster, or soapbar cavities without modification.

Detail 05

Set of three, not singles

Voiced to work together. Buying one to mix with existing pickups gives uneven output across positions.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Installation requires soldering. No pots, switch, or jack included in the set
  2. 02Confirm your pickguard uses standard Strat pickup spacing before ordering
  3. 03Height adjustment after install matters more than people expect for balance

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will these fit any Stratocaster?

They fit standard Strat pickup routing and pickguards with three single-coil slots. Check spacing on non-Fender or heavily modified guitars before buying.

02Do I need a new pickguard?

No, if yours already holds three single-coils. The pickups mount to the existing guard.

03Can I install these myself?

Yes, if you can solder. It's a wiring job at the pots and switch. Otherwise a tech will handle it quickly.

04Are these louder than stock pickups?

They're wound hotter than standard vintage-spec single-coils, with more midrange and low end. Not humbucker output, but noticeably fuller.
