Carondelet S

Carondelet S pickups are our refined take on a 50s era Strat. The most notable refinement being a 5/2 hybrid magnet design. We use Alnico 5 rods to preserve the classic scooped mid tones (aka, the chime) of a Strat's EAD wound strings. We use Alnico 2, however, for the GBE plain strings. A2's flatter EQ curve (or lack of one) diffuses the ice and brittleness of those strings, especially on a Strat's bridge position pickup.

The trio offers pickups calibrated output-wise specifically for their positions; a RWRP middle pickup for hum-free switching options; and paraffin potting for squeal-free performance and improved durability and lifespan. 

Neck: A5/2 hybrid, 5.8k, 2.8h
Middle: A5/2 hybrid, 6.0K, 3.0h, RWRP
Bridge: A5/2 hybrid, 6.3k, 3.2h

DELIVERY TIMES: Most Carondelet pickups are wound and assembled by hand, one at a time. Due to speed limitations in the hand-crafted process and overall demand, lead times for Carondelet pickups typically range from two to four weeks.
