Set of Kinman Traditional Mk 1 pickups mounted on a white 3 ply pickguard. These pickups will take a standard Fender Stratocaster cover with 52.5 mm pole spacing. Unlike the newer Kinman strat pickups are built such that you have to buy Kinman replacement covers at £20 for a set of three - plus postage.- First tone control: neck pickup- Second tone control: bridge pickup- Orange drop 22nF tone capacitor- The middle pick up has no tone control (like the Eric Johnson wiring), so the in-between positions (2 & 4), are really sparkly.- Second tone control is also a push-push pot (more convenient than a push-pull). This carries the Gilmour mod (i.e. switches on the neck pickup in parallel). Sounds lovely in positions 1 (Bridge+Neck) and 2 (Bridge & Middle + Neck).- Kinman type treble bleed mod (capacitor and resistor in series). Unlike the Seymour Duncan treble bleed, the Kinman mod does not change the taper of the volume pot, which retains the ability to swell the volume gradually. For a good quality 3m long cable and 250K volume pot, I have found that a 680pf capacitor with a 150K resistor works best.
