This high output Strat Staggered Single coil was inspired by Erik Trammell (All Souls, Black Elk, Brothers Collateral). He was looking for a special set of "David Gilmour-ish" sounding single coils. I accepted the challenge and here is the result. This pickup includes all the same features and upgrades as our CSS-271/571 but with even more midrange punch and sustain! Intended to be used in the bridge position in conjunction with a CSS-571 (neck) and a CSS-571/RWRP (Middle) to complete the ET-5 Custom set. Alnico 5 magnets standard. Shielded push-back hookup wire.
