Pure early-'50s Strat tone with exceptional dynamics.
The Apache is a full-bodied early-'50s single coil set delivering exceptional natural sustain, dynamic response and low string pull from its Alnico III magnets.
Based on the rounder, fatter tones of the original '54 to '57 coils, the Apache delivers a deep, powerful bottom end, bell-like high-end chime and rich, expansive mids. Clean tones are crystal clear and articulate without becoming harsh or thin, while overdriven sounds remain full, crunchy and rich in body for powerful single-note work.
Each coil is scatter-wound by hand using vintage-correct Heavy Formvar wire, with the bridge wound slightly hotter for improved balance across the set. Calibrated Alnico III magnets are hand-bevelled and mounted into fibreboard flatwork, available in either the original '54 stagger with a low G magnet or the more common '56 stagger.
The Apache's low magnetic pull allows the strings to vibrate freely, providing excellent dynamics, sustain and accurate intonation.
Country, Surf, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Indie, Pop and Classic Rock.
Particularly well suited to maple-fretboard Strat-style guitars with lightweight Ash bodies, but equally at home in Alder-bodied instruments with rosewood fretboards.
