Bare Knuckle Triptych Single Coil Set

Triptych: The power of three

Rabea Massaad signature Strat set.

“For me, the perfect Strat tone has been an ongoing journey for the last few years, and I’m happy to say that the journey has ended with the Triptych single coils.

I wanted to create a set of pickups that would satisfy my love for early to mid ’60s Strat tones, referencing guys like SRV, John Mayer and Philip Sayce, but also provide enough depth, power and clarity for me to play heavier music and chunky riffs.

The Triptychs do this with ease and I couldn’t be happier!” Rabea

A unique combination of Alnico III powered bridge and Alnico V middle and neck coils, hand wound with 42 AWG plain enamel wire, reproduce the phenomenal extension in the bottom end and rich upper mid and highs that make Rabea’s tone instantly recognisable.

From classic woody vintage vibes, super thick fuzz-driven high gain and onwards into new and uncharted territory that push the boundaries of single coil tone, Triptych coils encapsulate Rabea’s awe-inspiring approach to the Strat.

APPLICATIONS

Blues, hard rock, alt and progressive styles.

SUITABILITY

Ash or Alder body with maple board Strats for adding depth and extension in the bottom end and solid punch in the upper mids. Equally at home with rosewood boards for serious weight behind single note work whilst retaining clarity and definition in complex chord voicings.
