These pickups provide a Zero-Hum replication of Gilmour’s distinct DG sound—cherished for its clarity and musicality. Featuring enhanced sustain and minimal fret buzz, Kinman's design offers aficionados the essence of Gilmour's tone without the common drawbacks of vintage pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComparison with Historical Pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1979, the original Black Strat used a unique combination of pickups including a Seymour Duncan SSL1C bridge and Fender '71 neck and middle pickups. Fender's later Gilmour TRIBUTE Black Strat diverged from this setup, opting instead for a trio of Fender Fat 50's. In contrast, Kinman's choice to feature the Texas Jalapeno Extra bridge and Impersonator E56 middle and neck pickups provides a closer sonic match to the 1979 specifications, capturing the nuanced sound that Gilmour fans expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Features for Authentic Tone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKinman's update in June 2019 from the Impersonator Fat 50 to the Texas Jalapeno bridge was a strategic move to refine the replication of Gilmour's sound. The inclusion of Kinman’s K7 or K9 Goodbye Soldering Harness allows users to engage Gilmour's famous wiring modification, which mixes the bridge and neck pickups to produce a uniquely funky, Telecaster-like sound, adding another dimension to the versatile sound palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Benefits of Kinman's Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of Kinman’s pickups revolves around Zero-Hum technology, ensuring a clean, noise-free performance that's critical for capturing Gilmour's smooth tonal quality. The use of low-strength Alnico rod magnets further enhances the sound by reducing magnetic string pull, thus extending sustain and improving clarity by decreasing string crash and buzz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatility and Fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile these pickups are designed with a focus on replicating Gilmour’s sound, their versatility allows them to adapt across various amplification environments and playing styles. This adaptability underscores Kinman's commitment to providing musicians with the capability to explore a broad spectrum of sounds, all while staying true to the sonic legacy of David Gilmour. This set represents Kinman’s homage to Gilmour’s enduring influence in the music world, crafted for guitarists seeking to infuse their play with the spirit of a legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover Logo : No Logo\u003cbr\u003eSurface Finish : Normal\u003cbr\u003eCover Color : White\u003cbr\u003eMagnets \u0026amp; Screws : Non Plated\u003cbr\u003eGuitar Orientation : Right Handed\u003cbr\u003eModel : Gilmour Set\u003cbr\u003eProduct Group : Stratocaster \/ 3-Single Coil\u003cbr\u003eBaseplates : Normal Baseplate\u003cbr\u003eHarness Type : None\u003cbr\u003eConnection : Solder, leads\u003cbr\u003eConductors : Normal 2 Conductor hook-up cable (non-shielded cavity is OK)\u003cbr\u003eFretboard radius : 7\" ~ 10\" Uniform Radius\u003cbr\u003eBridge Saddle spread: : Universal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eincluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC Phillips drive Pan head mounting screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilicon Rubber tube springs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOptionality with Kinman Pickups\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are an authorized Kinman dealer in the USA, therefore, we have access to Kinman's wide array of customization options ranging from:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCovers with or with out logo\u003c\/strong\u003e - available in white, black, aged white, cream, old strat, parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet Spreads\u003c\/strong\u003e - narrow (49.5mm), intermediate (51mm), standard (52.5mm), custom magnet spreads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet Staggers\u003c\/strong\u003e - Normal, Flat, Custom stagger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook-up Cables \u003c\/strong\u003e- 2 conductor shielded (standard), 3 conductor on all by request, custom lengths by request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolarity\u003c\/strong\u003e - in-phase, opposite phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease inquire with us directly if you are interested in a custom configuration not offered on our website!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kinman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48228305895720,"sku":"KIN-GILMOUR-SET-W","price":463.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/4225\/2328\/files\/kinman_gilmour_set_stratocaster_singlecoil_2.jpg?v=1713386479","url":"https:\/\/altitudeguitar.myshopify.com\/products\/kinman-pickups-gilmour-stratocaster-single-coil-set-white","provider":"Altitude Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
