The fat sound of the โ€™60s 

The โ€™60sโ€ฆso many great bands, so many great tones. Pre CBS Fender Stratocaster guitars are considered some of the holy grail of guitars. While the ones from the โ€™50s are famous for the maple necks and open tone, the ones from the โ€™60s are known for their rosewood fingerboards and fat, bell-like tone. The Amber Pickups โ€™61 Special is set to capture the nuances of that era. Handmade using Heavy Formvar insulation, AWG42 wire and AlNiCo 5 magnets, the โ€™61 Special really is an authentic set. Amber chose to reverse the middle pickup by default, to eliminate hum in in-between positions.
