Buttes S-Style Alnico 5 Pickup Set

This is the familiar, yet inspiring, sound that could be heard from Woodstock to Monterey when young players were becoming legends. This sound is still heard today from rock stars on the biggest stages to friends with day jobs playing the local pub on a Saturday night.
Buttes are an S-style medium output pickup set made with Alnico 5 magnets and classic late-60's pole piece stagger. They offer full sounding neck and middle pickups and an overwound bridge pickup to provide mid-range bite and a little extra push for a dirty amplifier. The bridge pickup has a steel backplate to help round out the sound and reduce some of the shrill high end frequencies sometimes associated with Strat bridge pickups. The middle pickup is reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RWRP) for hum cancellation in the 2 and 4 positions. Buttes are wax potted and have cloth pushback wire.
Neck and middle pickups: 5.8k ohms and inductance of 2.4H, Bridge 6.2k and 2.8H. (Measurements may vary as each pickup is hand wound.)
