Rio Grande Vintage Tall Boy Rio Grande Vintage Tall Boy

Rio Grande's most popular pickup to date, this "non stag" model offers enhanced replication of the good ol' tone casters. Not all Strats® have "that" sound. From over 30 years of vintage guitar collecting, dealing, and repairs, comes the knowledge of which have the tone and why. Lots of other pickup companies know how to make a hot pickup, not many know tone from Diddley! Available in regular or RWRP.

Players: JJ Cale , Sven Axer, John Thomas Griffith

Rio Grande Stelly Rio Grande Stelly

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, along comes the "Stelly"! To make a long story short, we have repackaged our Muy Grande Tele bridge pickup to retrofit in your trusty Strat. Where previously our Muy Grande Srat pickup was our beefiest offering, we have now pumped it up a couple of notches. In addition this makes a great power set when combined with a Muy Grande in the middle & neck positions. Another first from Rio Grande!

Players: Gary Hutchison - Oreo Blue

Rio Grande Half Breed Rio Grande Half Breed

The perfect combination..the best of both worlds! Vintage Tallboy meets Muy Grande!! We took one of each, put ‘em in a blender, then into the oven and out popped the halfbreed! More juice than a Tallboy but not quite as much power as the Muy Grande, the Halfbreed is the ideal mix of our two popular single coils. Available regular or RWRP.

Players: Brian Henneman - Bottle Rockets

Rio Grande Dirty Harry & Dirty Harry Jr. Rio Grande Dirty Harry & Dirty Harry Jr.

Do you feel lucky? Rio Grande proudly offers the newest addition to their line of replacement pickups for Strats that is guaranteed to make your day. With six adjustable pole pieces, the new "Dirty Harry" is designed to emulate the sound of a P-90*. But know your limitations; because it's so powerful it could blow your head clean off. Not only is it powerful, but clear and full with a nice crispy edge. The Dirty Harry will fatten up your tone with natural sustain and quick response, and with the adjustable pole pieces you it will allow you to tweak the poles to balance your strings. Do you feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?

Like it's namesake, the Dirty Harry Jr emulates the tonal characteristics of a P-90 pickup. With a bit less output, it is recommended for the neck & middle positions in a 3 pickup set with the Dirty Harry model in the Bridge position. Available in normal and RWRP, with black or white covers. Sets come with middle pickup RW/RP.

Players: Gary Hutchison - Oreo Blue

Rio Grande Muy Grande Rio Grande Muy Grande

A powerful replacement for the modern and "vintage" type pickup, the Muy Grande offers an overall beefier sound with plenty of front end drive... not mush... It's like getting #11 added to your volume knob! Now available in white! Available in regular or RWRP.

Players: Manuel Gonzalez - The Blazers, Ruben V
