This very special limited-run model takes our acclaimed American Standard Stratocaster and decks it out with a suite of sweet design mods, including bright, jangly and highly distinctive Seymour Duncan® SLS-1 Lipstick Tube single-coil neck and middle pickups and a Seymour Duncan® SLS-1B Lipstick Tube single-coil bridge pickup, a four-ply aged white pearloid pickguard and classic ’60s-era Lake Placid Blue, Torino Red and Shell Pink finishes.

Do those pickups just look like Danelectro pickups, or are they a genuine emulation?

Man I wouldn't mind a Torino Red ☹

I'm not sure. They are the Seymour Duncan Lipsticks, but I've never had the pleasure. All I can say is that in clips they are definitely in the right ballpark.

I watched a video of one of these. Couldn't help but wonder where the sound would fit in, it sounded rather thin. Cool colours though.

A bit of a niche to be sure, but lipsticks do have a particular, unique chime to them. Quite a few slide players love them.

I think this captures it best:

They're a genuine copy, Alnico 6 magnets and all. SD makes a slightly hotter version for the bridge, which I've used extensively, and it's not thin by any means - fantastic sounding pickup.
