Just received a set of new Mark Brown handmade Stratocaster pickups. The steel plate on the bridge pickup gives it a punch and presence that has me feeling like I've found THE single coil bridge tone for me. All three are punchy and articulate. I'm digging the clean tones, but man, they really come alive with overdrive. If you're a Strat pickup user in my area, I'd be happy to set up a test drive for you. They're installed in my main GuitarWorks S-1 and I have a few amps to play through. I'm really excited to be part of the genesis of getting the word out on these. They're available through me or direct from Mark. Custom variations in the pickups would have to be discussed with Mark, but this set uses a mix of ALNICO magnets and hand scatterwound coils. I'm frankly stunned by how quiet they are compared to the pickups I had in the guitar previously. Much less hum, but they are true single coil pickups. Not sure how he does that, but sure not complaining. :)
