Details That Matter:
The middle pickups are RWRP (Reverse Wound Reverse Polarity) so that you can achieve hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4 of a 5-way switch. This is a modern advantage that comes standard with all of our single coils. Also, unlike vintage strat pickups, the magnet stagger is refined and calibrated to offer a more perfect balance in output from one string to the next.
Experience remarkably open and dynamic Stratocaster tone. The Spellbound Strat Pickup delivers bold, expansive sound that captures every nuance with piano-like clarity and warmth. Enriching both lows and highs with exceptional fidelity, these pickups don't merely respond—they resonate with uncompromising honesty, faithfully translating your playing into pure tone. For players seeking refined tonal control and versatile palette, the Spellbound offers unmatched clarity and expressive freedom.
The sound you'll get: Remarkably open and dynamic response with less compression, piano-like clarity with rich harmonic detail across the entire frequency range, warm lows and sweet highs without harshness, and exceptional touch sensitivity that responds to every playing nuance. The bridge pickup is particularly exceptional—slightly overwound with a Telecaster-style steel baseplate that enhances mids, lows, and output, effortlessly spanning from rich, clean Tele tones to intense, sustaining P-90-inspired sounds perfect for blues and rock.
Why it's unique: Designed by David Shepherd after decades of pursuing tonal excellence in Stratocaster pickups, the Spellbound represents the culmination of lifelong expertise. The secret is in the combination of carefully balanced windings with a steel baseplate on the bridge pickup—a design choice that grants remarkable versatility while maintaining that open, uncompressed character. These pickups stand unrivaled for players seeking total control over tone shaping through their amp and effects, delivering honest translation of your technique without coloration.
The Brickhouse Spellbound Strat uses premium materials and precise winding techniques to deliver that perfect balance of openness, clarity, and warmth that reacts beautifully to your touch. It's not a random design; it's a pickup deliberately crafted from decades of experience to deliver piano-like clarity with the versatility to cover everything from crystalline cleans to grit—with consistency and reliability you can count on.
