Kinman SRV Strat Set

SRV set - Special Texas tone







Impersonator Fat 50





Pickups in this boxed set are three non-aged sound Impersonator Fat 50. Details are on the Single Strat Pickup Tab (above)
SRV's Strat* produced a sound with extra bite, presence and harmonic bloom in loud passages and a nice woody bark from the low wound strings and soulful highs in slower passages. The new Kinman Impersonator Fat 50 also produces this sound with added expression factor, without mains hum.
These are the most lively and juicy Strat* pickup we make, so alive and juicy they outshine most non-noiseless single coils. Archetype Non-Aged Sound delivers exceptional dynamic range and explosive thwack attack, excellent transparent piano mid tones and exceptional bell-like ring and presence, sweet blooming & biting highs. These are two of our supreme Strat* models and is what makes Kinman The KING of noiseless pickups for Stratocaster* and other guitars.
Some people will call these noiseless Stratocaster pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Stratocaster pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars
*Stratocaster and Strat* are a Trade Marks of Fender Musical Instrument Corp. Kinman is not connected to Fender.
** Alnico-K is a unique proprietary rod magnet developed by Kinman in 1985. It has 40% less string pull than Alnico-5 so sustain is longer and there is much less clatter from string crash and no Strat-itis string warble.

Pot & Capacitor values

Best with 250k Ohm (measured minimum) volume pot. Less punch and more bright with 500k.
Tone pot is usually the same value as the volume but for a little more top end brightness can be 500k, 1meg or a No-Load.
Stock pots can actually measure as low as 175k. Pots in our Goodbye-Soldering Harness are guaranteed to measure no less that 250k.
Normal tone cap value of 0.022uF, 63 ~ 100 volt Polyester. Smaller uF value lessen the severity of Treble cut, higher values increase it.
The voltage rating of Caps is not important but 63 ~ 100 volt have thicker lead wires that result in a neater job.
