Bootstrap Imp Stout™ Set for Strat®

Even darker than our Oatmeal Stouts! The Bootstrap Imp Stout set gives a bottom-heavy, mids-forward and filters out ice-picky highs. This is a compensated set with an overwound bridge that delivers grit and growl in a full bodied tone. These are high output pickups, and well suited to those who like dark, warm tone. Also useful for balancing out an overly bright guitar.

We recommend choosing flat stagger pole pieces for modern guitars that have a fretboard radius of 9.0 inches or greater.
