McNelly Nostalgia single coil strat pickup
Please use the tabs below to read through the information about this product.
Ordering/made to order lead time
This particular McNelly pickup model is hand made to order in Canada. McNelly are currently working to a roughly 6-8 week wait time on made to order pickups. By placing an order through the website, I will handle this made to order process from there on out. I handle the order, importing from Canada for you and once they're here, I inspect and ship them out to you.
About the Nostalgia
I can't hide it, I've been a Strat guy since the age of 6 when I received my first guitar, a black 50s Style Squier. Since then I have been absolutely hooked on them and that meant I jumped at the chance to offer these truly awesome 'Nostalgia' McNelly Strat pickups.
Everything you love about great Strat pickups, plus some! Original spec A5 magnets in a custom stagger. The neck and middle are clear and bell like. The bridge has more output than usual to alleviate some of the piercing highs and better match the output in the set. Fully prepare yourself to fall in love with this Strat pickup, I know I have!
Nerdy specs

Recommended wiring - The Nostalgia pickups are 'optimal' when paired with 250k pots and a 0.022uF tone capacitor but can happily be paired with a 0.047uF or 0.1uF tone cap if you prefer a warmer response.
Will they fit my guitar?
The Nostalgia for Strat pickup is traditional Strat single coil pickup sizing, as such, will fit any standard/traditional Strat model without modification.
Cover Options
McNelly pickups are listed individually, so simply add the neck, middle and/or bridge pickup in the cover option you wish, to the cart.
The Nostalgia for Strat is available with a range of popular plastic covers included.
What's included?
Inside the box you'll find the pickup(s) you have ordered, covers for each along with your mounting screws and height rubbers for each.
Installation
These pickups are a traditional Stratocaster single coil size/style. They are 2 conductor wired (black for ground, off-white for hot). If by chance you aren't comfortable installing these pickups yourself, and are local to the Home of Tone, then I offer professional in-house installation. If you are installing them yourself, then I am of course here for any installation advise too.
