Kloppmann ST Real 65 - Stratocaster Pickup Set

Kloppmann Real 65 Strat Pickup Set

Vintage-Inspired Tone from the Golden Era of Hendrix

The Kloppmann Real 65 set pays tribute to the unmistakable tones Jimi Hendrix delivered using his 1965 Stratocaster on Are You Experienced and at the legendary Monterey Pop Festival. Designed to capture the warmer, more refined character of pickups produced between late 1964 and 1966, this set uses period-correct plain enamel wire to achieve a smoother, more subdued top-end that still retains clarity and depth.

These pickups recreate the mellow highs and rounded midrange of mid-'60s Stratocasters, delivering tones that are soulful, expressive, and unmistakably vintage. Ideal for players who want the warmth and musicality of a pre-CBS Strat without the harsh bite of later models.

Included with Set:

• Mounting screws and vintage-style tubing

• Cloth push-back wire for internal wiring

• Kloppmann-spec capacitor for proper tone pot response

Please Note:

Serving as an official U.S. Kloppmann distributor, we regularly replenish our inventory through scheduled orders. Each Kloppmann ST Real 65 Stratocaster pickup set is delivered without aging treatment, unlike other series.

Every pickup undergoes individual bench-testing with documented output ratings and receives a unique serial number. Please understand that our product images are representative only—your specific set will have its own distinct serial number and output specifications.

Potentiometer and capacitor values play a critical role in unlocking the full potential of your pickups. Since factory-installed components often vary widely in tolerance, Kloppmann strongly recommends pairing your pickup set with a premium prewired harness or hand-matched potentiometers for optimal tone and consistency.
