Some players find the traditional Strat® bridge pickup sound clear and sparkling, while others think itâs almost painfully bright. You know who you are, and the FS-1⢠is for you. Itâs louder (about 25% more power) than a stock single-coil, and smoother and fatter-sounding all-round. When you combine the FS-1⢠in the bridge with True Velvet⢠in the middle and neck, youâll have a guitar with calibrated, balanced tone in all five switch positions. For a bigger, more aggressive sound by and large, you can also install FS-1⢠pickups in all three positions

Tech Talk: We didn't design the FS-1⢠with a vintage sound in mind, but if you're trying to get a blues sound from the bridge position of a maple-neck Strat, you'll be very happy with the extra mids and bass, and the sound still cleans up when the volume is rolled down.

Recommended For: All positions, or bridge position with standard single-coils in neck and middle.
