The super 7114-mg lead hum canceling pickup

Close-up of a guitar humbucker pickup with black and white covers.

The Super 7114 was a design request from a high school buddy. The brilliant thing about about social media is the immediate re-magnetization of old friends particularly friends who shared great moments preparing for the high school talent contest. My friend was thrilled to hear that I was making guitar pickups. We discussed his guitar heroes and from there I went to work on his very own personal pickup. "Dude! You nailed it!" was what the email read after he installed the Super 7114. I loaded 7114 into my own HSS Strat and followed it up with two of my signature Magic Strat single coil pickups. I also added a .047 orange drop capacitor and upgraded the tone and volume pots to 500k's. What I got were 5 amazing and distinctively different sounds out of what was a pretty cool Strat. Now all my friends want to play my Strat when they come over to jam.
