Great Sounding Product

My wife brought me home a Squier Affinity Stratocaster from a thrift store. I own some really nice Fender branded guitars, but none of them with a SSS pickups configuration so I was happy with what she found me. The stock pickups weren't that great though, also the frets were very rough. I can finish frets, and handle any kind of electronic maintenance so I decided to use the guitar as a platform for building the SSS strat I wanted, and that started with pickups. I chose the Yosemite based on my desire for something that sounds really really good with a clean tone. I feel like I hit a home run with these pups. They sound nice and buttery with fantastic articulation. You have to spend a LOT of money to get these pickups in your guitar from Fender. They sound so great. Thank you Adorama for getting these to me as soon as you could (a couple weeks.)

About Fender Pickup

Just when you thought electric guitar tone couldn't get any more innovative, the Double-Tap Humbucking Pickup, Black emerges as a game-changer in the realm of sound versatility. Masterfully engineered by the renowned Tim Shaw, this pickup is a testament to the fusion of tradition and cutting-edge technology. The Double-Tap pickup stands out with its revolutionary design, which has been meticulously crafted to deliver the full-bodied warmth of a classic humbucker alongside the crisp clarity of a single-coil pickup.

At the heart of this humbucking pickup's superior performance is a carefully selected alnico 4 magnet, chosen for its ability to produce an expressive and well-defined voice that guitarists crave. This magnet contributes to a sound that's not only highly musical but also dynamic, responding to the nuances of your playing with precision.

The patent-applied-for technology behind the Double-Tap pickup is a marvel in itself, offering guitarists the ability to switch between humbucking and single-coil tones without experiencing the common volume drop that typically plagues single-coil modes. This ensures that your playing remains consistent and powerful, regardless of the tonal path you choose.

To combat the issue of feedback, which can often be a challenge with high-output pickups, this model employs a light wax potting process. This technique effectively reins in runaway feedback, allowing you to push your sound to new heights without losing control. Yet, it's done with a delicate touch, ensuring that the pickup's responsiveness and the subtleties of your playing are preserved.

The Double-Tap Humbucking Pickup is not only a testament to innovation but also to durability and reliability. Its robust construction means that it can withstand the rigors of regular use, making it a reliable choice for both studio recording and live performances. The sleek black finish adds a touch of modern sophistication to your guitar, complementing its aesthetic while enhancing its sonic capabilities.

Whether you're a professional musician looking for a versatile sound palette or an enthusiast eager to explore new tonal territories, the Double-Tap Humbucking Pickup, Black is designed to inspire and elevate your musical journey.
