Fletcher Singles Suitable for Fender® Jazzmaster
A mix-cutting top end, to a sultry bottom end - versatile pups dripping with cool. Iconic Surf to Indie.
My singles are scatter-wound with carefully selected wire directly onto hand finished Alnico magnets, as they were originally designed. These are mounted on laser cut fibreboard flatwork before being potted in wax. I use period correct cloth covered wire. The secret to the best sounding singles is the choice of wire and the winding technique of the coil. I also recommend using flatwound strings with 1Meg pots.

All Vintage wind Pickups can be Overwound 5% to Vintage-Hot wind for more presence and for brighter guitars or just for a bit more grunt and a more modern sound.

Blended Magnets
If you find your unwound strings on the shrill side and pulling the strings, consider using a blend of magnets in the bridge pickup. With an Alnico 5 bridge pickups, using Alnico 2 or 3 in the GBE string position will smooth out the tones and add a little more warmth in your solos.
