Step into the legendary soundscapes of the '60s with the Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix Signature Strat 3-piece Pickup Set. Crafted to mirror the iconic tones that defined an era, these pickups are a tribute to the master himself. Each pickup is meticulously custom-wound to deliver a rich, melodic tone that resonates with the spirit of Jimi Hendrix's music. Whether you're cutting through with the bridge pickup's aggressive attack or exploring the depths of bluesy melodies with the neck pickup, this set is designed to deliver an authentic Hendrix experience.

With Jimi's signature elegantly embossed on the white pickup covers, you'll be reminded of the legacy these pickups carry every time you play. And, as a nod to the fans, each set comes with a commemorative booklet and stickers.
