Personality: “The Gunslinger”
“Hotter Coils. Quicker Draw”

The Tumbleweed is a hot-rodded Strat set that delivers more bite, more output, and more attack while keeping the quack, sparkle, and character that makes a Strat a Strat. Wound hotter than traditional Strat pickups through creative winding patterns and staggered pole magnets, this set gives your SSS configuration the backbone it's been missing. The Alnico 2 neck (7.5k) is warm yet crisp with that signature Strat quack. The Alnico 5 middle and bridge (8.5-9.5k) are aggressive and punchy, cutting through blues-rock mixes without losing that glassy top-end sparkle. This isn't trying to be a humbucker or a P90; it's a Strat pickup that grew a backbone. Perfect for players who love Strat tone but need more output for blues, rock, or anything where you need to be heard without sacrificing character. Wax-potted for squeal-free performance. Want even more aggression in your bridge? Check out The Enforcer (Rhino). But if you want hot-rodded Strat tone across all three positions, The Gunslinger is your draw.
