This vintage style staggered
pole Strat® pickup uses a combination of Alnico 2
and 5 rod magnets custom positioned for sweet
highs and tight lows.
The Five Two was originally designed for
Nashville studio players who wanted to
soften the treble attack on their highest
strings while retaining all of the
articulate snap on the low strings. The
result was a mixture of Alnico 2 and Alnico
5 rod magnets that delivers the best of both
worlds. The Alnico 2 rods under the G, B, &
E strings provide a sweetened treble
response while the Alnico 5s under the low
E, A, & D strings keep them sounding clear
and crisp. Combine with the Five-Two Rw/Rp
middle pickup and Five-Two custom bridge
pickup for a complete setup. Like all of our
vintage Fender style single coil pickups, we
start with the right color and thickness of
Forbon flatwork. Along with the period
correct magnet stagger, this pickup comes
complete with waxed and tinned cloth
pushback hook-up wires and traditional keyed
bottom plate. We hand file the flatwork,
assemble, and lacquer the bobbin just as it
was done during Fenders Golden Age.
