Overview
Woodstock – an era-authentic nod from Lindy Fralin to Lindy’s favorite guitarist – Jimi. Built as a replica of sorts, our Woodstocks feature era-authentic specifications, with one cool tweak – a left-handed “Tall G” stagger. Perfect for any Jimi enthusiasts, this set features a vintage output that’s in line with our best-selling Vintage Hots.Â
Also, these pickups have classic Grey Bottom bobbins, traditional cloth-wire, and USA-Made 42-gauge plain enamel wire.
Sound
Woodstocks sparkle and sound open. These pickups sound big and full, with an even balance of Bass, Middle, and Treble, clean or dirty. Furthermore, the tone cuts through with distortion – while remaining very dynamic and thick.
Expect a precise low-end and an emphasized acute attack on the treble. Single notes cut through with ease, while chords have an excellent string-to-string definition.
Our manufacturing process allows us to achieve unparalleled quality control. Our Woodstocks consist of locally-stamped fiberboard and USA-Made Alnico 5 Magnets. We wind each pickup by hand, one at a time. We produce our bobbins in small batches and wind each pickup using our proprietary “Sectioning” technique, which gives the pickup a sweet, bright tone.
Finally, we wax-pot the pickup to preserve the pickup and prevent microphonics for years to come!

It looks like real 54s and Woodstock winds are the same, but the difference is the magnet (a3/A5) and the Lefty G magnet stagger, yes? Can I get a set of 54s with regular/standard stagger for a right handed guitar in A5? Or said a different way, can I get a set of Woodstock’s but with a righty vs lefty magnet stagger? Thanks, Mike

Hey Mike,
Yes, you can! Or, you can simply request any of our pickups in a Tall G stagger.
