Description: Brand new set of three white single coil 'special wind" pick-ups for Strat style guitars or as we call them Warman Texas Triple Hots. Staggered pole pieces help with the classic look . Supplied with screws and springs for fixing. Please note the current production batches have the standard trapezoid baseplate shapes. Although a single coil design these are specially wound and calibrated with the magnetic field to produce double the output inductance of our regular single coils. This special winding also has the added advantage of keeping the Ohms roughly the same as a vintage wound single coil. Further down the page I've listed the actual specs. Please note this is a proper matched set of 3 pickups, each different, not just a set of three of the same pick up that you may find on offer cheaply elsewhere. Each pickup is designed for a specific location to match up with the increasing width between strings and produces the ideal power for that tonal position. The mid position pickup is reverse wound and opposed magentic polarity to ensure true hum cancelling properties in switch positions 2 and 4. All pickups are wax potted to reduce unwanted noise.

Warman pickups use very high quality ceramic magnets as these are even brighter than Alnico V or III, and in higher output pickups help to counterbalance the treble lost by the higher resistance (remember higher resistance means more midrange, but less highs). Don't justtake our word for it how great these pickups are and sound. Here's what one of our customers Mariu Oosthuizen from South Africa had to say about them. Hi Josi I have installed the Warman texas pups I bought from you. I compared your Warman texas pups with my US Strat with Texas specials, and with a hand made strat with MIJ pups, and with Fender modern Noiseless pups. Here is my comments; 1) The Warman pups have a higher volume output than the Fender texas specials. This surprised me a bit.2) The Warman pups have a similar volume output than the Fender noiseless pups.3) The Warman pups have the correct string spacing for a US Strat, as the pole pieces are directly beneath the strings, creating a true, natural and balanced sound. This is unlike the Fender texas specials, where the pole pieces are all over the show, at least on a MIA Standard Strat, resulting in poor sound. This causes uneven volume across the different strings, which is undesireble. To solve this with the modern US standard 2 point bridge is almost impossible. The pole piece spacing on the Warman pups was the first thing attracting me to them.4) The Fender noiseless pups have the correct pole piece spacing like your Warman pups.5) The balance of the Warman pups in any of the 5 positions (using the 5way switch) is by far superior to any of the other pups. In fact when comparing the 5 options it became clear that the Warman pups not only had the best balance, but sounded way better than the other pups. Normaly the bridge position is too bright, but the Warman pups have a nice balance in all positions. Another problem with the Fender pups was that positions 2 and 4 had too little treble, again the Warman pups sounded better. Overall I rate the Warmans the best by far, then the Noiseless pups, and last the Texas specials. The US standard pups has the same problems than the texas specials in that the pole piece spacing is all wrong. As to why these Warman pups sounds so great I dont know. Can you explain this? They appear very well made, but I would be surprised if you tell me that they were not made in Asia somwhere. This was the best purchase I ever made as far as pups are concerned. Being able to compare it to so many pups shows you that I bought several sets, and until now were disappointed. Another great thing about your Warman pups are that they are much cheaper than the other pups i tried. Thanks for ending my search for great pups. RegardsMarius While you have your soldering iron out then you might want to match it up with one of our new 5 way switches. If you get stuck on wiring them please feel free to ask for a wiring diagram ( in pdf format ) for either standard wiring or we can advise you on how to get a bit more bold and squeeze some more tones out of your guitar with alternative wirings and tips - please just ask us as we don't charge for advice. How do we do them so cheap ?We buy in bulk direct from the manufacturers and only sell online. We don't have costly overheads of high street premises, there's no middle man to pay, we don't pay for fancy retail packaging etc. and these savings are passed on to you the customer. Are they any good ?Yes. I have been building guitars for over 30 years and these are the same quality pickups I use myself. We only sell stuff we use ourselves. They're not seconds or regraded goods passed off as new are they ?Defintely not. These are all brand new, 1st grade guitar parts. Ocassionally we do sell second hand or reclaimed parts and when we do this is clearly stated in the listing notes. Can I return them ?Yes but only if they are faulty ( see above ). We provide all the dimensions etc in the llisting so please ensure they will fit your guitar before you purchase. A couple of minutes spent with a ruler and your favourite axe will avoid the disappointment and aggro of having them turn up and not fit . Do you do other guitar stuff ?Hell Yes. Pleas check our other listings to see what great deals you can get when buying from us. Any other questions please feel free to ask. Another great eBay deal from Warman Guitars. Add us to your favourite sellers to keep up to date with the fantastic web only deals we will be running throughout the year.
