Achieve era-authentic ’50s tone with our Real ’54s. This pickup’s output and magnet structure is the same magnet material Fender™ used in their ‘54 Stratocasters! If you’re looking for a glassy, articulate tone, our Real ’54s will certainly provide that for you. Our Real 54’s are brighter and snappier than our Vintage Hot pickups. If you are looking for the most authentic vintage Strat tone you can get, look no further.
Making Pickups By Hand For 35 Years, Fralin's designs start with a simple question: "How do I make this pickup sound better?" That simple question has led us to some of the best-sounding guitar pickups on the market - all without using fancy tricks or gimmicks. Lindy Fralin's expertise has shown in over ten unique pickup designs.
Over 95% of our materials are made in the United States. Only the highest-quality materials are sourced from USA-Made Wire to USA-made military-grade Alnico Magnets. In addition, we use only USA-Made Covers, Baseplates, and Screws. Our injection-molded parts are all molded right here in the United States as well. We're always using local materials as much as possible to reduce our impact on the environment.
