Gabriel Guitars JTK50 Stratocaster Pickup Set

 

The JTK50 Pickup Set – Vintage Glassiness with Subtle Warmth

Inspired by Early 50s Strat Tone

The Gabriel Guitars JTK50 pickup set channels the unmistakable shimmer and sparkle of early 50s Stratocasters. These pickups deliver that glassy high-end and unmistakable single coil snap, while offering a surprising amount of depth and warmth underneath. It's a voice that’s familiar yet fresh—perfect for players who want to retain vintage character without falling into sonic predictability.

Handcrafted Excellence with Staggered Winding

As with all Gabriel Guitars pickups, each JTK50 is stagger wound and hand-assembled with care. This meticulous build process ensures superior string response and tonal integrity across the full frequency range. Expect excellent clarity with dynamic sensitivity that reveals every nuance of your playing.

Vintage Spec with Modern Reliability

The JTK50s are built using staggered Alnico 5 magnet slugs and 42-gauge copper wire, carefully wound to an average resistance of approximately 5.8K. This classic formula gives them a slightly lower output than modern pickups, keeping things articulate and responsive. Dipped in 100 percent paraffin wax, they’re fully potted to eliminate microphonics and keep noise at bay.

A Bold Twist on a Timeless Formula

This set is tailored for the purist Strat player, but with just enough nuance to carve out a signature voice. Whether you're aiming for that clean, chimey rhythm tone or pushing into expressive blues leads, the JTK50s respond with a refined yet authentic voice. Boldly go where no tone has gone before!

A Timeless Foundation for Any Strat

If you’re looking to elevate your Stratocaster with a pickup set that respects tradition while adding subtle richness and complexity, the JTK50 is the perfect choice. Designed for tone chasers who appreciate detail, character, and craftsmanship.
