The Tone Zone S^™ brings the performance of the famous Tone Zone^® to a humbucking Strat^® replacement-size pickup. We’ve built in the tremendous mid-range and bass response of the original Tone Zone^®, and the same patented dual-resonance design produces great harmonics. It has four-conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, and makes a great bridge position combination with the Pro Track^™, Chopper^™ and Fast Track 1^™.

Recommended For:

If you compare the specs of the full-size Tone Zone^® with those of the Tone Zone S^™, you will notice they don’t match. That ‘s because the trick in building a single-coil size pickup to sound like its big brother is to go for the sound rather than the numbers. We also took into account the likelihood that the Tone Zone S^™ will be installed in the classic slanted Strat^® bridge position, so we warmed up the higher frequencies and brightened the low notes a little to compensate.
