Lee Dickson was Eric Clapton's guitar technician for over 30 years. 

These strat pickups were designed by Lee Dickson with Mojo. They are his interpretation of an iconic sound and are based after original 1974 strat pickups. Clarity and shimmer are the highlights of this set. Sonic definition with an emphasis on high end. A set for the player who wants to cut through the mix. 

We’ve all heard and seen the legendary sonic staple that is Blackie on various albums and performances, and have been left mesmerized by the qualities that have made it an icon. Well here’s your chance to own your own set of pickups just like Clapton had in his strat. Best described as slinky, with a snappy bass end and clear highs, this pickup set sounds even better with an overdrive lightly coloring its vivid tone. 

In conjunction with Mojo, pickup designer Lee Dickson has recreated the shimmering highs and cutting clarity that slices through the mix with his interpretation of an iconic sound. All pickups are wound in the same direction with no RWRP middle.

Classic Jazz Bass pickups are designed to sound like the best from the late 50's early 60's era with more output and balance. These are smoother and warmer with a stronger low mid punch as compared to our Clone CBS Jazz Bass pickups. They are built stock with Alnico 5 magnets, black fiber bobbins, and vintage spec heavy formvar wire. Carefully calibrated so that the neck, and bridge are balanced in volume and character. The neck pickup is clear and full while the bridge pickup has excellent output and punch. The bridge pickup is RWRP to achieve hum-canceling when both pickups are in use. Both pickups are wound to vintage spec with a little more beef on the bridge pickup especially. Black pickup covers and mounting hardware included.

The "Knockout" Jazz Bass pickups are built similar to a P-90 and utilize adjustable humbucker poles for more punch, grind, and clarity. They have super tight lows, smooth mids, and snappy highs for a versatile bass tone that stands out in the mix. They can withstand all styles of playing from slap funk, finger style, and heavy picking with authority. Black pickup covers and mounting hardware included.

The "Knockout" P-Bass pickups are built similar to a P-90 and utilize adjustable humbucker poles for more punch, grind, and clarity. They have super tight lows, smooth mids, and snappy highs for a versatile bass tone that stands out in the mix. Compared to standard alnico pole versions, these are much clearer and punchier with tighter note definition. Black pickup covers and mounting hardware included.

Mojotone Classic P-90 guitar pickups are extremely well balanced with a tight and round tone. These come stock with Alnico 5 magnets for the bridge pickup and Alnico 4 for the neck pickup, and vintage spec plain enamel wire. For a super versatile P-90 that cleans up nicely and overdrives smoothly, the Classic P-90's are the right choice. The bridge pickup was modeled after a killer sounding 1960 Les Paul Jr pickup that measured 8.6k! They still have a lower output without being overly bright or thin sounding, especially when using gain. The neck pickup is RWRP to allow for hum-canceling between the two.

Classic Series P-Bass pickups represent the best from the late 50's early 60's era. Excellent clarity with bigger mids as compared to our Clone Series CBS P-Bass pickups. They are built stock with Alnico 5 magnets, black fiber bobbins, and vintage spec heavy formvar wire. Hum-canceling as always and wound to vintage specs. Black pickup covers and mounting hardware included.

Clones of the original '52 Tele "blackguard" pickups, using flat Alnico 3 magnets, vintage-spec plain enamel wire, a deep drawn chrome brass cover for the neck pickup, and a copper plated baseplate for the bridge pickup. All original manufacturing methods are the same with handwound coils, and wax potted coils. Both neck and bridge coils are wound in the same direction and magnetized the same polarity just like the originals. We voiced these around the best examples we encountered from the blackguard era. The neck pickup is so clear and soft with lots of articulation. The bridge pickup has just the right amount of mids with clear wide open twang and snap. These pickups really let you dial your amp in for the best possible tone.

Mojotone has cloned the original 1959 Strat pickups that recreate the unmistakable 1959 tone. We copied an original set of 1959 strat pickups that really caught our attention and stood out as something very special. We just had to recreate these. Each coil is handwound in the same direction to the exact same specifications. We painstakingly went out of our way to use the exact same materials and manufacturing methods. Sand cast Alnico 5 hand beveled magnets, vintage-spec heavy Formvar coil wire, lacquered bobbins, and wax potted just like the originals. These have amazing warmth and clarity that absolutely nail that 1959 strat sound. Sold as sets of 3 only.

Clone Jazz bass pickups are improved replicas of the famous grey bobbin pickups. We did a fuller sounding 60's coil wind with the same materials used from the 70's like plain enamel wire and grey bobbins. We found that the original 70's pickups had a nice snap and growl with super tight lows, but they seemed to lack fullness in the tone which was a big complaint for the 70's era pickups. We perfected that with these pickups. They are built with Alnico 5 magnets, lacquered grey fiberboard bobbins, and vintage spec 42 plain enamel wire. Fully wax potted and carefully calibrated so that the neck, and bridge are balanced in volume and character. The neck pickup is clear and punchy while the bridge pickup is slightly hotter for fuller tone. These are RWRP with each other. Black pickup covers and mounting hardware included.

Clone grey bobbin P-Bass pickups are perfect replicas of those famous early 70's grey bobbin pickups. We wind them to have more fullness and tone compared to the originals while retaining the distinct clarity and growl associated with the originals. These have snappier highs and tighter lows as compared to our Classic series P-Bass pickups. They are built with Alnico 5 magnets, lacquered grey fiberboard bobbins, and vintage spec 42 plain enamel wire. Black pickup covers and mounting hardware included.

The PAF Clones are for the tone purist. Authentic to every detail using all American made parts. 1958 spec butyrate bobbins, 1958 spec long leg frame, custom vintage spec plain enamel wire, custom alnico 4 cast magnets, maple spacer, vintage spec screws, and vintage spec slugs. These are very bright and warm with lots of articulation. The upper frequency range has exceptional bloom and lots of airy tone with the un-potted coils. We meticulously wound each coil with our own pattern and offset to represent what we believe to be the best vintage PAF examples out there.

Mojotone is excited to work with such a renowned luthier to develop the new Rene Martinez "Hybrid" Strat Pickups. These were developed to emulate that specific and unique "Texas Tone" which was inspired by the one and only SRV.

The magnets are customized Alnico III in the neck and middle and Alnico V in the bridge to give a full and balanced tone. You get that clean, ultra clear neck and middle tone that lets your amp shape your tone, while the bridge pickup is hotter with more girth and punch, and a sonic clarity that cuts through with attitude. The coils are calibrated from neck to bridge for an even volume throughout the switching and have a reverse wound middle. 

Be the first in your town to own a set designed by such a renowned luthier. These come stock with staggered magnets with a raised D specifically for unwound 3rd string sets.
