Full Monty Stratocaster Pickup

We all love the classic Stratocaster sound, but let`s just say you wanted to take that further! Introducing the Full Monty Stratocaster Pickup. The pickup has been designed to take the classic Strat sound and push it further by adding Monty’s patented ‘pure sonic girth’.

When the pickup is wound wide open the pickups start to verge on the P90 pickup sound territory, retaining the tonal sweetness & clarity that is expected from a good Strat pickup.

If you are looking for a Stratocaster pickup set that can do it all, you have found it.

Full Monty Humbucker Pickup

The Full Monty Humbucker (formerly the GT500) is a massively souped-up version of a classic humbucker. While built to be the most versatile Humbucker imaginable, the Full Monty Humbucker is capable of delivering amazing tonal quality ranging from bright clean tone to massive stadium rock tone.

The 42-gauge wire and traditional coil offset ensure a lively top-end and dynamic response. The result is a pickup that is as dynamic, responsive and clear as any good low-output Humbucker with all the fatness of higher-output Humbucker.

  • Scatterwound using 42 gauge Formvar (neck pickup) and Plain Enamel (Bridge pickup) wire
  • Neck- Alnico V, 7.9k
  • Bridge – Alnico II, 9k

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

S Style Electric Guitars

S style electric guitars are known for their comfortable contours, versatile tones, and expressive playability. Typically featuring a double-cutaway body and a vibrato bridge, they offer easy access to higher frets and a naturally balanced feel whether standing or seated. Their pickup configurations often favour clarity and articulation, making them well suited to clean sounds, edge-of-breakup tones, and expressive lead playing, while still handling heavier styles with the right setup. S style guitars are valued for their responsiveness to touch and dynamics, making them a popular choice for players who want an instrument that feels fluid, familiar, and adaptable across a wide range of music.
