MF Guitars

MF Guitars, founded by the UK-based pickup maker Mark Foley, specialises in crafting hand-wound electric guitar pickups renowned for their authentic, Pre-CBS vintage tone and feel. Mark Foley's mission is to recreate the highly coveted touch sensitivity and harmonic complexity of classic Fender pickups from the 1950s and 1960s. The brand is best known for its precise reproductions of vintage Stratocaster pickups, often reverse-engineered from original examples and tuned to capture specific tonal eras. Flagship sets include the MF Guitars Pre-CBS 60s Strat Pickup Set and the exclusive, high-demand Lone Star "Number One" set (a collaboration with Peach Guitars, tuned for the legendary SRV tone). Every Mark Foley pickup is meticulously wound by hand using period-correct materials like Heavy Formvar wire and Alnico magnets, ensuring a crystal-clear, articulate, and dynamic response that excels with both clean valve amplifiers and famous overdrive pedals like the Tube Screamer. For players seeking the holy grail of vintage Stratocaster tone, an MF Guitars set is a definitive upgrade.
