Kinman Pickups Knopfler Stratocaster Single Coil - Parchment

Synergy Baseplate: Innovation Meets Versatility
As of April 2021, our pickups now feature the Synergy baseplate, offering unparalleled flexibility. This groundbreaking design allows you to switch off the hum-canceling feature entirely or activate the unique 'Synergy' mode for those who believe a touch of hum is integral to the classic Fender sound. It's a modern solution tailored for the most discerning tone purists.

The Key to Knopfler's Iconic Sound
To achieve the authentic "Sultans of Swing" sound that Mark Knopfler made famous, all three pickups must adhere to identical vintage specifications. This consistency ensures the classic quack and cluck in positions 2 and 4 remains uncompromised. Electrical engineering principles confirm that any variation in pickup specifications disrupts the balance and tone of these mixed positions. That’s why our boxed set for Knopfler's signature tone includes three Impersonator E56 pickups, each meticulously crafted to vintage standards.

Versatile Sound for Any Style
While the Impersonator E56 excels at delivering Knopfler-esque tones, these pickups are far from one-dimensional. Depending on your amplification setup and playing style, they offer a broad spectrum of sounds, making them a staple in various artist sets. Their adaptability ensures they can meet the demands of any musical genre or technique.

Explore how these pickups can bring the iconic tone you’re searching for while offering unmatched versatility for all your musical needs.
