The set mounted on the Fender Custom Shop Master Built Michael Landau Signature Stratocaster HH by Jason Smith.
Imperial humbuckers capture the airy high frequencies, balanced midrange, taut bass and harmonic complexity of classic vintage PAF pickups. Jason Lollar then perfected the original design to provide a more balanced frequency response. The output level of the Imperial remains in the vintage range, but with a winding of the bridge pickup slightly more pushed than the typical vintage set. The unbalanced coils produce tense basses that integrate the fullness of the pickups and give the harmonics note after note. Overall, by selecting the bridge pickup only the tone is fuller and more robust, but it becomes cleaner and brighter with the selector in the central position. The neck selection has enough strength to play on the saturation wire of the amp, but just vary the energy impressed on the strings to obtain cleaner or more distorted sounds according to your wishes.
The Imperial are made with Alnico 2 magnets for the handle position and Alnico 5 for the bridge position, degaussed at specific and different levels for the two positions. In this set the covers are pearly with chrome frames.
Imperial F-Spaced Standard Wind Bridge Pickup - Chrome / Pearl
The Imperial F-Spaced has increased center distance between the poles to perfectly adapt to the position on the bridge on Fender or other tremolo guitars (the spacing from center to center between the two outer poles is 2 1/16 "/ 52.5 mm). The wiring is 4-conductor to allow for a possible split-coil connection, if desired Alnico 5 magnets and 8.8k impedance.
Imperial Standard Wind Nec k Pickup - Chrome / Pearl
The neck handle has Alnico 2 magnets, 4-conductor wiring and 7.6K impedance.
