Obsession + Focus + Passion = Legendary Strat Tone
If you’re the type of player who believes the soul of a Strat is about clarity, dynamics and feel—then you’re the type of player we built these for.
If you know that one perfectly phrased note can carry more weight than a dozen, then welcome in. You’ve found your pickups.
Obsession of Tone
By 1965, the Stratocaster was at a peak. Warm, articulate, and dripping with nuance, the tones of this era defined an entire generation of music. Bringing that voice back required relentless work.
“It took a while to complete this design, but I couldn’t be happier with these—or with the response from pro players. I’m beyond honored so many top-flight players use these in their #1 Strats.”
— Randall Van Dyke (Founder, ToneSpec)
The 1965 Deluxe Strat Set delivers that unmistakable chime and dynamic response—alive under your fingers, balanced across every register, and always musical.
This isn’t production. This is obsession—turned into tone.
Focus on Pro Tone
ToneSpec pickups aren’t just respected—they’re trusted at the highest level.
-Trusted by Grammy-winning composers
-Played by first-call session pros
-Built for players that demand the best for their music
And when you hear it from the players themselves, it hits even harder:
“The best Stratocaster pickups ever made. You changed this guitar forever. So proud to call you a friend, Randall.”
— Mark Whitfield (Legendary Guitarist)
“I love working with these—they bring out all of the best in every guitar I use them in.”
— Stephen Marchione (Legendary Luthier)
“Man Randall, you really outdid yourself with these. I owned a real 1954 vintage Strat & the tone of your Strats sound just as good, maybe better.”
— Mike Gallaher (Guitarist for Joe Cocker, Leon Russell & many others)
Passion of Perfection
Perfection isn’t a lucky accident—it’s engineered detail.
-Wound to vintage-output standards, calibrated for unmatched string-to-string balance.
-Proprietary magnets aged, charged, and tested for authentic ’65 response.
-Each set runs through ToneSpec’s full environmental protocol—temperature and humidity cycles—so they hold up on stage, in the studio, and on tour.
If you’re the kind of player who hears the difference in touch, bloom, and response—you’ll know why we build them this way.
Legendary Tone without Vintage Prices
Original mid-’60s Strat pickups cost thousands, and often come with decades of wear. This set gives you that legendary 1965 voice—reborn for today—for a fraction of vintage, backed with a lifetime warranty.
And now they’re yours—if you’re ready to upgrade from average to elite.
Act fast—ToneSpec Deluxe Sets are built in small batches and often sell out before we restock.
