Jason Lollar’s fascination with guitar tones can be traced back to the sound of early-‘60s (pre-CBS) Strats®. That was the benchmark he aimed for when creating our Sixty-Four™ Strat® pickup. When you hear them, we think you’ll agree he hit the mark! You get prominent midrange and clear top end with a piano-like attack.
Avg. DC: Neck 6.4K, Middle 6.5K, and Bridge 6.8K
As their names suggest, flat-pole pickups have all of the individual pole pieces set at the same height, whereas with staggered-pole pickups the pole pieces are set at different heights. Staggered-pole pickups were originally created to compensate for heavier string gauges—particulary wound 3rd strings.
If you’re unsure which to choose, we typically recommend flat poles rather than staggered. In most cases, flat-pole pickups will give you better string balance, as well as a little more presence, bass and output.
I’ve bought loads of Strat pickups over the years, and while occasionally I’ll find a different brand that stands out (like Bare Knuckle) the one brand that I know is going to deliver every time is Lollar. I currently have a set of Lollar blondes in one guitar, and now a set of 64s in another slightly darker guitar. Both sets are spot on for their respective guitars, and can deliver any Strat tone anyone could want - from Nile Roger’s to SRV to Missy to Jimi to you name it. Once the Lollards are in, the nuances are in the fingers. And practice. Lots and lots and lots of practice.
