1969 Historic Woodstock Era Stratocaster Set

List: $269     Direct Price: $219

While not pre-CBS, 1969 year heralded the "new" sound of the Strat, the sound of Jimi Hendrix.

Very similar to the 1964-65, but mine are wound just a bit hotter and meatier, and with single-build poly enamel magnet wire. I'm not a CBS fan, but I dig these groovy pickups.
