Genesis Monterey ’97 Stratocaster® Pickup Set

The Monterey ’97 set is an accurate reproduction of the pickups found in the 1997 Masterbuilt “Monterey” Stratocaster®, #145 out of total 210 pieces made. They deliver the classic “grey bottom” mid-late 60s sound – articulate with optimal note separation, all the while keeping the fuller body and aggression if pushed hard.

While many pickups carry the “Hendrix style” claim or feature similar grey bobbins, this set stands apart as the only known reproduction meticulously matched to the exact sonic fingerprint of guitar-specific measurements. Whether you are recreating the sound after the legend himself, or you are chasing that “Where the light is” version of the “slow dancing” tone, these are worth your consideration.
