Fralin Blues Special Stratocaster Set

Whether playing clean or dirty, Blues Specials feature a thicker midrange and rounder highs than vintage-voiced Strat models like our Real 54’s or Vintage Hots. Although they are an overwound Strat pickup, they are not too aggressive and feature a very open and dynamic tone. Blues Specials sound more like a traditional Strat pickup, unlike our Steel Pole 42’s, which lean closer to the sound of a P90.

Fralin Blues Special Strat Specs:

  • 5% more coil than Fralin Vintage Hots: 5% more output and mids, 5% less highs.
  • Modified Fender specifications, with more output and thicker tone.
  • High output, but still has Fender sparkle.
  • Compensated Bridge for even volume across all pickups.
  • RW / RP Middle pickup for Hum Cancelling in positions 2 & 4.
  • USA-made Alnico 5 Magnets and wire for optimal tonal balance and output.
  • Two magnet staggers available for different fingerboard radiuses.
  • Hand-wound with our “Sectioning” technique for unique, dynamic tone.
  • Hand-built, locally-sourced fiberboard Bobbins for unrivaled quality control.
  • Complete set of 3 pickups. Contact us if you would like to purchase individual pickups.

Description

Fralin Blues Special Stratocaster Set is the perfect option if you are seeking a thicker Strat sound, that still sounds like a Strat. Look no further than the Fralin Blues Specials. One of our best-selling Stratocaster sets, Blues Specials provides more output and a thicker sound while retaining that Stratocaster tone we all know and love.

Expect a thicker high-end and low-end growl, which will push your amp or pedals hard and provide a versatile and creamy breakup that is ideal for many music styles.

Lastly, cut through in the mix when soloing with a thicker, rounder single note and a powerful attack. Chords sound warm with a great string-to-string definition. Blues Specials sound powerful and bold – a great way to take your guitar’s tone to the next level. You’ll wonder why you didn’t make the switch earlier.

If you are looking for a Strat Pickup that has more sparkle, sounding very open and clear without sounding “tinny” or glassy. Then check out the Fralin Vintage Hot Strat Pickups. It is sonically different to the Fralin Blues Special Stratocaster Set if you are looking for a brighter option.

Manufactured by hand in Richmond, VA with 100% USA-Made materials, instantly transform your Strat into a versatile powerhouse and discover what you’ve been missing with our Fralin Blues Specials.
