Description
This set is built and ready to post earliest Wed 29OCT25, after purchase I will contact you in regards to choice of cover and screw type. I build my pickups when I can and do not take orders sorry. When sets are ready I announce them on my Leddin Vintage Guitars Facebook page, link is on Home page.
There are several stories about what was actually in David Gilmour’s Black Strat. For this set I have reviewed many articles and this is my version. David’s bridge pickup was a Dimarzio FS-1 and having owned several originals in the past I am very familiar with it. My bridge is wound to 13k for a big fat punchy tone that breaks up crisply with drive. The middle pickup by some accounts was an overwound ’60s grey bobbin so I have done the same with my middle. At 6.15k this pickup is bright with a tight bottom end with a distinct late ’60s vibe. The neck pickup is an underwound ’50s Formvar wound to 5.65k for a nice clean vintage tone.
