<p>Everything is bigger in Texas&mdash;and it&rsquo;s hard to imagine a bigger tone than Texas-born Billy Gibbons&rsquo; 1959 Les Paul, Pearly Gates. When you have a good thing, more of it is better too. Never one to limit himself to a single guitar, Billy insists on the same humbucker tone he knows and loves in his &rsquo;59 when he plays anything else. So, after a call to La Maestra, Maricela &ldquo;MJ&rdquo; Juarez, a new pickup set was born.</p> <p>All the fat, P.A.F. tone and Texas hot-sauce sizzle of Billy&rsquo;s favourite was recreated in a pickup that will fit in any Strat-sized single coil route&mdash;proving tone as big as Texas can come in deceptively small packages.</p> <p>The Red Devil for Strat set features three unique pickup winds, with specially calibrated Alnico 5 magnets. The bridge is wound like an extra spicy P.A.F., with enough meat to beef up your Strat and provide the fat tone of Billy&rsquo;s #1. The neck and middle step back the heat a little and brush on sweet, smoky blues&mdash;ideal for cleans, rhythm, or lead.</p> <p>Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory; the Red Devil model for Strat uses alnico 5 magnets, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.</p>
