Philip Sayce is a true master of his craft, wowing audiences around the globe with his blend of blues, rock, and meticulously crafted tone. Since the late ’90s, one guitar has been the driving force behind the sound of his solo career and his time performing with artists including Jeff Healey, Melissa Etheridge, and Uncle Kracker. The “Mother” Strat is a modified 1963 Fender Stratocaster, an incredible workhorse whose wear and tear match the intensity of Sayce’s electrifying performances.

Slightly underwound late-’50s style pickups
Clear, full-bodied sound
Chime-y, bell-like cleans
Signature sizzle & grit when gain is added
Period-correct Alnico 5 magnets
The feel & responsiveness of Philip’s original guitar
Philip has been known to bust out an impromptu slide guitar solo with a beer bottle. One fateful night, the original 1963 pickups in Philip’s guitar bit the dust after succumbing to corrosion and eventually shorting out. However, when he swapped them out with some special pickups sourced from a 1958 Strat, “Mother” took on a whole new life and legendary sound. These slightly underwound late-’50s pickups brought out a clear, full-bodied sound that has been the hallmark of Philip’s guitar tone ever since.
By taking great care to reverse-engineer the pickups from “Mother,” the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop was able to recreate the singing, punchy Strat sound that emanates from this magical guitar. Chime-y, bell-like cleans easily morph into the sizzle that can be achieved by adding an overdrive or one of Philip’s favorite fuzzes. The Seymour Duncan “Mother” Stratocaster Pickup Set gives you period-correct Alnico 5 magnets with just the right wind to match the feel and responsiveness of Philip’s original guitar.
All sets are pad-printed with Philip’s signature on the flatwork. For those wanting great vintage Strat tone and Philip’s powerful sound in their own Strat-style guitar, look no further than the Philip Sayce “Mother” Signature Stratocaster Pickup Set.
