The Joe Barden S-Deluxe models are the Strat™-equivalent to the Danny Gatton Tele
pickups. Two models are available; one for the bridge position and the other for the
neck and middle positions.
The tone of the S-Deluxe is absolutely Strat™ in character, but with greatly
expanded fidelity and a balanced frequency response. Of course, hum and noise are
completely eliminated. These pickups are incredibly sensitive, giving you a wide
range of tones and output levels simply by adjusting the distance of the pickup from
the strings.
With S-Deluxe pickups, the "in-between" positions are wonderfully hollow, and the
bridge pickup has the strength, snap, and twang typically experienced only in
Telecasters.™ The unique staggered-blade design of the bridge pickup, common to all
Joe Barden single-coil sized bridge pickups, eliminates drop-outs on the outer
strings.
All S-Deluxe pickups are designed to fit standard Strat body routs with no
modifications to the instrument. The pickups utilize 4 conductor shielded cable to
allow for any possible wiring combination and are supplied with wiring diagrams and
mounting hardware to facilitate installation.
