Nordstrand FS4 'Fat Stack' Set
This is a proprietary design by Nordstrand. The traditional bi-pole magnet layout was, literally, twisted in a new direction. By rotating the pole 45 degrees for each set, the size of the traditional J style coil has been increased by 50%, making it wider, or “fatter”. This results in a larger aperature, which captures more harmonic content from the string. These pickups have a tone reminiscent of a J style single coil, but they are bigger and bolder. Full range and a present, yet pleasant high end response. Featuring a great deal of mid ranged details and fullness. Due to the naturally lower output of this design, these pickups can sometimes benefit from a pre-amp with 3 or more db of gain.
