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!

Q What do you mean when you ask 'right handed or left handed ' when ordering a pickupA
On certain models, you need a left-handed magnet stagger if you're a left-handed player.
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?

Wow! Now I know the difference!
I was playing around with some Hendrix backing tracks, with Woodstock in the neck position…Good tube am… Absolutely awesome!
I put these wonderful pickups in an early nighties USA deluxe Strat, that I bought up here in Canada a longtime ago.
I have been shopping for some hand wound pickups, made by someone who cares about music, for some time now… Lindy Fralin cares, really cares, about music.
Hendrix would have been proud to put a set of these in his guitar, of this I have no doubt.
It’s the first time I got to (actually) sound like Hendrix. LOL
Amazing pickup, thanks again Mr. Fralin.
I have a jimmy Hendrix voodoo strat I don’t play it a lot because the pickups sounds like crap my wife got it for me for Christmas 3 years ago she paid 900 for a jimmy Hendrix voodoo that has low output you can call me at 13364197183 I don’t have the money to buy pickups right now I was going to sell it but my wife told if i sell it she will never buy me a guitar again
