Full bodied T-Armond meets classic Strat. TV Jones build their Starwood Strat Pickups with some of the same components that they use in their T-Armonds. This gives them a fuller presence while keeping the top end bright with no ice-pick shrillness. The Starwood Series, their take on more popular pickup styles, are made to be musical pickups - not just period/vintage-correct. The bridge pickup sparkles with a husky presence (due to their patent-pending steel keeper), while the middle pickup growls with clarity and works almost like a secondary bridge tone. The neck position has explosive dynamics with a wide Q - reminiscent of a large single-coil DeArmond. Of course, position 2 and 4 reveal the quirkiest quack and spank.
