High-output active Stratocaster pickups that provides hot Strat tone in a hum-free drop-in single-coil size. Blackouts for Strat are voiced for heavy rock and metal, but they can do a lot more than that. Their strong active signal is perfect for driving high-gain amps and long effects chains, but will also provide studio-quality clean pop and funk sounds. Anything from crushing power-chord riffs and searing leads to sparkling, compressed clean tones are possible. Blackouts for Strat have a unique dual-pin configuration on the underside of the pickup for two modes of output: moderate and high-gain. The pins can also be wired to a mini-switch or a push/pull pot for an onboard boost. If you love the tone and playability of your Strat-style guitar, but hate the hum and low output of the pickups, this is the upgrade for you. Available individually or as a complete set, Blackouts for Strat retrofit any standard single-coil pickup rout and ship with 25k pots, tone capacitor, stereo jack, battery clip, and other mounting hardware.
