The Ron Ellis 50/60S set blends the tonal magic of early ‘50s and ‘60s Strat pickups, offering a dynamic range that feels familiar yet inspiring. The neck pickup delivers that dry, woody tone with soft edges and a warm, bell-like top end. The middle pickup brings out a scooped clarity that’s perfect for chords and rhythm work, while the bridge is crisp and cutting without ever feeling harsh.

This particular set features a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RWRP) middle pickup, which provides hum cancellation in positions two and four. 

Hand-wound in Carlsbad, California, Ron Ellis pickups are known for their touch sensitivity, musical response, and vintage-correct voicing. Artists like Julian Lage and Anthony Wilson rely on them for their clarity, warmth, and ability to translate every nuance of their playing. The 50/60S set is one of Ron’s most versatile, and with RWRP, their ready for modern performance environments.
