Odyssey Radiance Strat Neck SC

The Odyssey Radiance Strat Neck SC is a high-output Strat-style guitar pickup engineered to offer a balance of vintage warmth and modern clarity. Hand-wound in the USA with 7,000 turns of 42?AWG enamel-coated copper wire around Alnico?V pole pieces, it measures approximately 6.5?K?—delivering enhanced output for more pronounced dynamics without sacrificing the chime and bell-like shimmer classic to Strat neck pickups. Ideal for lead work, ambient cleans, and expressive chord voicings, the Radiance Neck SC brings sparkle and sustain to any Strat-style instrument.

Construction & Materials

Each Radiance Strat Neck SC is hand-assembled in small batches in the USA under strict coil tension controls. The Alnico?V magnets are individually calibrated for balanced string response, while the enamel-coated copper wire minimizes loss of transient detail. The bobbins are molded from high-grade thermoplastic for resonance and structural stability, and the baseplate is nickel-plated steel for effective shielding. A complete wax-potting process locks down the coils and virtually eliminates microphonic feedback, ensuring the pickup remains quiet under high-gain effects.

Tonal Character

Echoing Fender’s American Vintage Strat neck pickup, the Radiance Neck SC offers warm, rounded lows, smooth midrange warmth, and sparkling highs with a touch of vintage roll-off. On clean amplifier settings, chord voicings resonate with lush depth, and single-note lines sustain with silky smoothness. Under moderate breakup, the pickup provides a creamy overdrive that retains clarity and articulation—perfect for blues solos and ambient textures.

Installation & Compatibility

Designed for a direct drop-in into standard Strat neck routes, the Radiance Strat Neck SC includes long lead wires and mounting hardware for easy installation. The nickel-plated steel baseplate ensures reliable grounding, and the standard two-conductor wiring simplifies hookup to most guitar electronics.

Made in USA

Delivers balanced, dynamic tones with sparkling highs and warm lows, capturing the quintessential Strat sound.
