Everything is bigger in Texas—and it’s hard to imagine a bigger tone than that of Texas-born Billy Gibbons. He is a man of many guitars, and he needs to be able to get that humbucker tone that he loves no matter what he’s playing. So, after a call to La Maestra, Maricela “MJ” Juarez, a new pickup was born.
Meet the Red Devil for Strat set. All the fat, P.A.F. tone and Texas hot-sauce sizzle of Billy’s signature sound, in a pickup that will fit in any Strat-sized single-coil rout—proving that tone as big as Texas can come in deceptively small packages. The Red Devil for Strat set features three unique pickup winds, with specially calibrated Alnico 5 magnets.
The bridge is wound like an extra spicy P.A.F., with enough meat to beef up your Strat and provide the fat tone that Billy is known for. The neck and middle back off the heat a little and brush on sweet, smoky blues—making them perfect for ringing clean tones and chunky rhythms, but with the horsepower Billy demands for lead playing.
The Red Devil is also sold as individual neck, middle, and bridge models. Individual pickups are sold in black, white, cream, and parchment colors.
