This aged vintage 1963 Strat pickup combines our flagship 1963 Strat pickup with our unmatched hand-aging process and degaussed magnetizing to replicate the tone and look of 60+ year-old pickups. It captures the golden era of Stratocaster tone from the early 1960s when Leo Fender perfected the design, featuring vintage staggered and hand beveled alnico 5 magnets with period-correct construction.
Each pickup has our proprietary degaussing method to slightly weaken the magnets for delivering authentic vintage character from day one, with glassy clean tones for surf music, sweet overdrive for blues-rock, and the dynamic range and musical intelligence that defined great Stratocasters of that era. Ideal for players seeking genuine worn-in vintage Strat pickups without waiting decades.
