Description

The Seymour Duncan Philip Sayce Mother Strat Humbucker Pickup captures the legendary tone and soul of Sayce’s iconic 1963 Fender Stratocaster, famously known as "Mother." This set replicates the unique sound of the 1958 strat pickups that transformed Sayce’s guitar into a timeless instrument. Carefully reverse-engineered by the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, the pickups feature period-correct Alnico 5 magnets and are slightly underwound to deliver chimey, bell-like cleans and harmonically rich overdrive. With authentic tone inspired by decades of performances, this pickup set brings a piece of rock and blues history to your strat-style guitar, perfect for crafting bold, expressive soundscapes.
