Seymour Duncan Hendrix Strat Pickup Set - White

In 1968, a young Seymour W. Duncan hand-wound pickups on his record player specifically for Jimi Hendrix, presenting them onstage at Xavier University in Cincinnati — a moment that would define Duncan’s legendary career. Nearly five decades later, these Jimi Hendrix™ Signature classic Strat pickups bring you closer to that iconic sound that changed music forever.

Built with traditional craftsmanship yet forward-thinking design, each pickup is custom wound to produce a richer, more melodic tone that captures Jimi’s distinctive style. The bridge pickup offers aggressive attack and cutting power while maintaining the authentic lead tone Hendrix was famous for. Meanwhile, the neck and middle pickups provide thick, full sound perfect for chord work, bluesy melodies, and Jimi’s signature hybrid chord-melody approach, with classic Strat ‘quack’ available in the in-between positions.

What makes these pickups truly special is their reverse magnet stagger, designed to replicate the unique effect of Jimi playing a right-handed guitar flipped upside-down and restrung for left-handed playing. The white pickup covers feature Jimi’s signature, and each set includes a commemorative booklet and stickers. Fully authorised by Authentic Hendrix LLC, these classic Strat pickups offer an authentic path to recreating that earth-shattering Hendrix tone.
