From Mojotone:
Our approach was very simple, to make a hum-cancelling Strat pickup that looks and sounds like a real single coil with minimal parts and adhering to actual vintage single coil attributes. Aside from the parts and materials used, we also matched the resonant peak frequency, and inductance of a vintage single coil, so they sit right in the frequency response and feel of a traditional single coil, without having to compensate for it.
Our ‘67 Quiet Coil™ Strat pickups are passive and only use the same parts and materials found in original vintage '67 Strat pickups.
The HOT Quiet Coil™ is still very much like a single coil with more midrange and bass for a heavier blues tone with sustain.
These have the snap and growl of those ‘67 grey bottom Strat pickups, with crystal clear lows and highs. With the HOT Quiet Coil™ in the bridge position, you get better sustain and a more balanced output between positions, for those who do not like the weaker vintage Strat pickups in the bridge position. Carefully balanced in output from the neck to the middle to the bridge, and completely hum-canceling in ALL positions!
No batteries, stacked coils, or anything else associated with other hum-canceling pickups were used in our design. The result is simply the most pure and authentic strat tone possible, with absolutely no loss of true single coil tone. They are sonically clear and warm, with every bit of single coil sparkle and chime, just like true 1967 strat pickups.
NOTE: With all Mojotone Quiet Coil™ pickups, you never have to worry about string spacing and radius issues, or the magnets pulling the strings out of tune, and you can bend the strings heavily without ever losing focus or sustain. All of this while achieving perfect single coil strat tone and absolutely no hum!
