**NUMBER ONE BEST SELLER!**"Super Sport Set"  

Hands down, the "Best 
Style Specs" to be found!

these won out all the other sets I make

and above some real vintage strats

test was done during a huge

customer based test party at the shop.

- 6.1k Neck / 6.0k Middle / 7.09k Bridge 

( bridge is hotter then the Night Flyers set  or

"Rosie/Vaughn" set - its really for guys

who never liked the bright bridge, this spec

not only solves all that - but makes it a PURE JOY!)

  Guys who want the ultimate Posistion  2 & 4 "quack"

would go for, Rosie/Vaughn set, or a slightly

hotter bridge would be the Night Flyer set. 

only the bridge pickup varies on these 3 sets

- wound with vintage correct PLAIN ENAMEL Wire 42' awg

 

The "SS" set was born from the rare hard to find
"special" really great sounding 64's
said to be the very best EQ-ed  ever!

THINK "SRV's" #1,  soulful, jazzy, and full on

rock and roll machine!

open - organic- alive at the fingertips -

never dull or Icy! - just 100%

pure inspiring tone from the past that created that

"Vintage Craze" and drove instrument prices to the sky.

its back and can be in your hands again!

  make them yours today.


doing any RW/RP on middle pickup on these was - only by request ok
 
-----------------------
"Rosie/Vaughan" Set

SOMETIMES people call these the JOSIE VAUGHNS ( they are all the same sets ok)

6.0k neck, 5.9k middle, 6.4k bridge

Designed to duplicate a very special 1964 pickup set  and the Guitar owner's last name is "Vaughan" and FWIW =his first name, [it is not a "Stevie ot a Jimmy"]  and so to mimic the pickups - I used my most Vintage Ear-Candy, "Rosie-Wrap" 50's wind- pattern that I developed and nic-nammed "Rosie" because I like that name.  ( and its also used on all my pickups i made)

The set specs were from that guitar (they're not SRV's Specs, My SUPER SPORT Set is closer to my R&D over the 19-years of testing ONSATGES with differnt artist _IMHO.)
-----------------------
THE Orange heavy build Formvar* 50's Set

(All 3 pickups use the 50's style 42 AWG magnet wire -

 Orange-ish in color, Heavy Build insulation coating)

6.1k neck, 6.0k middle, 6.6k bridge

Designed to duplicate a very special early fifties pickup set.

Features my cloned vintage wrap/wind and formvar wire.

Very popular set with the fifties vintage purist crowd.
