Strat BJFE

Bridge pickup intended to solve problems since 1950's.

BJFE is a pickup for strats, aimed to solve problems that’s been around since the 50’s. First we’ve beefed up the weaker bridge-pickup and given it a smoother, rounder tone. Secondly we’ve managed to achieve a compact and tight clear sound when playing with distortion. Strats can have a tendency to sound weak and thin played with distortion, but with the BJFE we’ve solved that problem. But take notice, we haven’t used double coils or other humbucking tricks – this is still a true single coil pickup with all the magic that goes with it. We now offer bridge pickup only as well. It has a steelplate under the magnets which acts like a magnetic reflector. Made inhouse. The pickup is touch sensitive and direct. People who tried the BJFE, and also tried ”almost every pickup on the market”, tell us that they finally found what they’ve been looking for. Pickup is delivered with component and schematic. Cover, screws and rubber springs included. € 99 is Bridge pickup only. Also available in set of Three.

Everything coincide

(This is an English version of my review in Swedish)

A few times a year I go to the Old town Stockholm (gamla stan). There is a blues jam session every weekend basically. I had a new stratocastor equipped with Lundgren pickups; S90, BJFE*2. It was the first time that I brought this guitar to the jam. When it was my turn, I entered the stage, plugged in the guitar and adjusted the amp - just in a few seconds. The audience is waiting. It is always a bit of tension in this moment. Medium drive on the amplifier. Ended up a bit longer away from the amp than normal. The music started and everything felt perfect. My guitar sound was excellent. Clear as the typical strata character but more power and buoyancy. It gave me a strong feeling in the musical presence. All the planets were aligned. Once you like the sound of your instrument, you can really indulge in the music, 100% presence into that and nothing else. Wonderful and invaluable. The only bad thing is that I might have to order one more pickup, upgrading another guitar of mine.

Allt stämde.

Några gånger per år åker jag in till gamla stan, Stockholm. Det är bluesjam i princip varje helg. Jag klev upp på scen. Pluggade in och ställde in ett ljud på några korta sekunder. Det är alltid lite spänt i det ögonblicket. Medium drive på stärkaren. Hamnade sedan lite längre ifrån stärkaren än vad jag brukar göra. Musiken drog igång och allt stämde. Ljudet var kanon. Strata-karaktär men med en bärighet som hette duga. Det gav en stark känsla i det musikaliska. Helt underbart och ovärderligt.
Ibland när jag har spelat på samma ställe har jag inre fått den känslan och varit missnöjd med ljudett till och med.
Denna kväll spelade jag en strata med S90 och BJFE ×2. (Lundgren alla tre.)

As Good as it gets!

Johan makes one of the best pickups in the world. He is up there with all the big ones!

Lundgren BJFE Neck

Im so satisfied. Im actually quite stunned by the fact that the search is over.

Earlier problem was that it was quite impossible to find somehing that would sonically match my bridge pickup (Classic57 PAF humbucker)
The problem wasnt the obvious like matching output, this can be done but is a minor hassle.

Often ive wasted cash on various brands and pickup types only to find the neck too shrill or too mushy under medium/heavy distorsion.

This pickup gets the job done. Its a damn marvel and an instant choice if you wanna have some classic woody sounds.
Its apparent that it has a smoother curve, and reduced treble.
But since alot of distorsion and overdrive adds to the shrillness, in a medium/max gain setup this pickup levels that out and instant marries a PAF bridge pickup without need for EQ.

Lundgren BJFE is straight proof that you could indeed have it all !

Mickar som bär en trio hela vägen.

Hej Johan.
Nu har jag kört på mickarna justerat och hårdtestat sedan mässan
och måste säga att jag är grymt nöjd med soundet hela vägen.

Från rent men mjukt följsam och nyanserad ton med lagom mycket
häng typ Stevie’s Testify till lite mer gain och lite skitigare ton med
effekter a la Hendrix.

I båda fallen finns definition och sträng-separartion (både avseende
ackord och singel-string) kvar så att det bär en trio hela vägen.

Kanon helt enkelt, så tack för ett bra jobb.
Återkommer när jag fixat degen till stallmicken.
