The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Steve Miller "The Joker" Stratocaster pickup set celebrates the 50th anniversary of Steve Miller's hit album The Joker in style. This signature set was custom-designed by Maricela "MJ" Juarez, who has been winding pickups for Steve Miller for 40 years. All three single-coil pickups feature Alnico II magnets and are wound for vintage output, providing the dynamic tones that defined an era.

Custom Designed for Steve Miller's Legendary Strat Tone

For 50 years, Steve Miller's music has showcased the unmistakable tone of the Fender Stratocaster. These custom pickups were designed to capture the vintage warmth and articulation of his iconic The Joker album. The bridge pickup delivers a punchy, present sound perfect for rhythm playing. The middle pickup produces a rounded, balanced tone ideal for chords and leads. The neck pickup gives a fat, bluesy sound suited for soulful solos. Together, they provide a full palette of tones that shaped rock and roll.

A Portion of Proceeds Support Music Education

A portion of the proceeds from each pickup set will be donated to Notes for Notes, an organization that provides youth with free access to musical instruments and education. Your purchase will help spread the gift of music to future generations.

Steve Miller's Personal Touch

Each pickup features Steve Miller's signature printed on the cover, commemorating his role in creating these memorable tones. The iconic joker mask from The Joker album adorns the baseplate of each pickup, a subtle artistic flourish. These personal touches demonstrate the care and craftsmanship that went into designing this pickup set.

Built to Last With Premium Materials

Like all Seymour Duncan pickups, the Steve Miller set is handcrafted in California using the finest materials. The hand-beveled Alnico II magnets and custom windings are housed in a vulcanized fiberboard bobbin with a Formvar wire wrap. The result is a pickup that not only sounds exceptional but will stand the test of time.
