The AVn-69 has exceptional Violin-like sustain and explosive Th-wack factor.
One of our all-time most popular sets just got better.
The Woodstock Plus v2 set has a more powerful Hx-85 v2 bridge pickup. The neck and middle are also more powerful AVn-69 v2. Named for the whole Woodstock era, not just for Jimi.
October-2019: This set has been upgraded to v2, that is ... some of our Gen-2 technology has been incorporated to significantly increase loudness and improve the snap of attack. The sound is also more open and detailed.
You will get dynamic and explosive sounds, the notes roll off the fret-board like fluid and sustain forever. You are gonna get compliments on your sound after you install a set of Woodstocks v2. Strat sound with a lotta thump and punch, sharp attack and exceptional clarity, definition and projection. They readily break into crunch under heavy pick attack. Great for clean Fender sound but also good for Heavy Rock and extreme distortion. High output with the welcome advantage of Zero-Hum so even heavy distortion sound don't suffer with annoying mains hum.
Perhaps best summed up with these comments by the British guitar magazine Total Guitar .... "After installing Kinman Woodstock's our stock single coils suddenly seemed shockingly thin and weedy"
*Stratocaster and Strat* are a Trade Marks of Fender Musical Instrument Corp. Kinman is not connected to Fender.
** Alnico-K is a unique proprietary rod magnet developed by Kinman in 1985. It has 40% less string pull than Alnico-5 so sustain is longer and there is much less clatter from string crash and no Strat-itis string warble.
US Patent numbers 5,668,520 US 6,103,966
Low magnetic string pull from our proprietary Alnico-K** magnets for longer sustain and less string crash and fret buzz.
Best in any Kinman Goodbye-Soldering Harness.
Some people will call these noiseless Stratocaster pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Stratocaster pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars
News flash Apr-2021: Now with our new Synergy baseplate that allows switching off Hum Cancelling as well as switching to 'Synergy' mode for those that think hum is part of Fender sound.

We highly recommend consulting the Install Guide in the Technical section even if you think you know it all. Kinmans' require specialized knowledge and sometimes there is updated info. There is also a handy wiring diagram available.
We also highly recommend consulting the Adjust & Set-up page in the Technical section so you get the best out of your Kinman pickups.
