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 02
Single-coil construction
Bright and open, but it will pick up 60-cycle hum near lighting, screens and transformers.
Detail 03
Metal tube housing
The enclosure is part of the design, not a removable cover — it shapes both the look and the mounting.
Detail 04
Sold as a single pickup
A two-pickup guitar needs two purchases, and positions may want different units.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Strat?
Not without modification. Lipstick pickups use a different housing and mounting than a Strat single-coil route.
02Does it hum?
It's a single coil, so yes — expect the usual 60-cycle hum near lighting, computer screens and power transformers.
03Do I get two in the box?
No. This is one pickup. A two-pickup guitar requires ordering two.
04Can I install it myself?
If you solder and your route matches, yes. Otherwise a tech should handle the wiring and fitting.
