Seymour Duncan Philip Sayce Mother Strat Limited-Edition Pickup Set White

The Seymour Duncan Philip Sayce Mother Strat limited-edition pickup set captures the magic of Philip Sayce's legendary 1963 Fender Stratocaster, affectionately named "Mother." Revered for its electrifying tone, "Mother" gained a new lease on life when its original pickups were replaced with a set sourced from a 1958 Stratocaster. These slightly underwound late-'50s pickups produced a clear, bell-like sound with rich body and dynamic response, becoming an integral part of Sayce's signature tone. Through meticulous reverse engineering, Seymour Duncan's Custom Shop has recreated these iconic pickups, complete with period-correct Alnico 5 magnets and authentic winding techniques. Whether delivering chimey cleans or sizzling overdriven tones, this set delivers the unmistakable character that defines Philip's sound.

Vintage-Inspired Construction for Authentic Seymour Duncan Tone

Each pickup in the Philip Sayce Mother Strat set is crafted to replicate the sonic characteristics of late-'50s Stratocaster pickups. The slightly underwound design enhances clarity and articulation, ensuring a balanced response across all frequencies. The Alnico 5 magnets provide a punchy low end, sparkling highs and a dynamic midrange that excels in both clean and driven settings. Combined with precise winding, these pickups deliver the expressive, full-bodied tones that Philip Sayce is known for. Whether you're layering complex chords or delivering searing solos, this set ensures every note resonates with authentic vintage warmth and detail.

Limited-Edition Craftsmanship for Collectors and Players

As part of a 500-set limited run, the Philip Sayce Mother Strat pickups feature a hand-aged finish to mirror the original set installed in "Mother." Each pickup is pad-printed with Philip Sayce's signature and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by both Philip and Seymour W. Duncan. The packaging has been meticulously designed to reflect the exclusivity of this release, making it a must-have for both collectors and tone aficionados. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the construction ensures lasting performance, allowing players to infuse their own Strat-style guitars with the powerful sound of Philip's iconic instrument.
