McNelly Silvercaster Single Coil Strat Pickup
£89.99
'Silvercaster' Tasting Notes
McNelly have taken the pickups designed for the Silver Sky PRS model and rebuilt them for traditional Strats with a signature McNelly twist. The pole pieces are radiused to 9.5" and matched with vintage Strat string spacing, offering a modern take on a classic sound.
The bridge pickup is available with two output options. The standard output closely matches the Silver Sky, offering cutting and jangly tones. The +10% version gives you a balanced output across the set with a fatter sound in the bridge, bringing it closer to a typical modern Strat setup.
These were developed by McNelly after they personally inspected and tested an original Silver Sky set to try and see what made them 'unique' to that model, and set about honouring that with some McNelly character and approach too.
I think this is great for players that have been intrigued by the tones captured by the Silver Sky model, but haven't quite felt the desire to reach for the flying bird inlay fingerboard and pointy headstock alternative juuust yet. Fitting a set of pickups designed around those featured in the silver sky might just help you with this dilemma though! Keep your traditional strat, capture some Silver Sky tonal character, a nice compromise!
But are you keen to get the full silver sky tonal experience in your traditional strat? Then perhaps consider my Silver sky spec pre-wired Strat harness too! Click HERE for more info

Cover Options
McNelly pickups are listed individually, so simply add the neck/middle/bridge pickup in the cover option you wish, to the cart. These are available from us in white, parchment or black covers. But they're standard strat single coil size, so would also take your original covers if that's your wish.
Specs
Neck - 6.5k - North Up - Clockwise wind direction
Middle - 6.5k - South Up - Counter Clockwise wind direction
Bridge - 6.5k - North Up - Clockwise wind direction
Bridge +10% - 7.15k - North Up - Clockwise wind direction
These specs as a result mean in position 2 and 4, you will have hum cancelling, in phase pickups as a supplied set. If you are simply buying one, or two Silvercaster pickups to mix with other pickups you own, please note these specs in your planning and wiring.
