Vaughn's Velvet Custom AlNiCo 2/5 Stratocaster® Set
A Vaughn Skow Custom original; the three high strings receive vintage spec AlNiCo 2 magnets for warm and sweet bell-like tone! The three low strings receive '64 spec AlNiCo 5 magnets for defined and never muddy lows!
This Custom set is wound on the very HOT side of vintage. They still produce all the classic Strat spank, chime, and sparkle … but they also have a bit more warmth, meat and drive an amp a little harder than true vintage spec pickups.

• 0.187" Alnico V sand cast polepiece magnets on the low E, A, D strings
• 0.187" Alnico II sand cast polepiece magnets on the high G, B, E strings

• Hand-wound by a master craftsman with a distinct scatter-pattern.
