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.
Vintage cloth ‘push back’ hookup is standard and there is a choice of stock or RWRP mid coil. Rabea’s preference is for zinc plated steel baseplates on the bridge and neck coil to further add depth and output and a RWRP mid coil, however we’ve left the option open to choose baseplates on all three coils if you wish.

Bare Knuckle PickupsCustomer Reviews
The set of Triptych pickups is fantastic Tim and matches perfectly with the personality of the guitar. The guitar is worth a fraction of an original 1963 instrument but is far better than any old Strat I've ever played. Brilliant!! 'Over the moon' is such an overused phrase these days, but I really am.
I just put in a set of the triptych pickups in a '67 Custom Shop Strat and they are fantastic. I've been playing for 40 years and have owned many Strats. This particular "67 Strat was great with the stock pickups but these make it something truly special. Many thanks you you and Rabea.
