Review: Easy to install - I love these. They improved my Player Strat. I love my guitar now. I'm left handed. I love fender guitars in general. I have the Cobain JagStang from the Nevermind era. I had a customer $2000 Strat from the mod shop. I love them all. This really improved my Strat. This is my Catocaster. I soldered in the pick ups as soon as I got them and my buddy came over to jam. Man it sounded great. I use amp modeling. Personally, I'm done with regular amplifiers. I love Amp modeling and Fender. You will not be disappointed with these if you're a Fender enthusiast. The pickup covers come white. I opted for chrome. My Catocaster purrs.
Review: Amazing sound. Amazing quality. Easy set up. - These pickups sound fantastic. I put them in my 2006 Fender Highway One Stratocaster. If you have even a basic concept of soldering these will be VERY easy to install. The wiring diagram is clearly laid out and easy to understand. As I said earlier, the sound of these is amazing. The neck pickup is nice and thick but not muddy, the middle has that classic chime and the bridge does a very good job of being trebily but not harsh or "ice picky". They really are not that noisy in the single positions. YES they do have a him to them, but its not bad! The middle positions are very him free though. If you want a great authentic sounding stratocaster sound with just a little more balls these are a great choice. My only issue with these pickups is hardly an issue at all because it's so minor. The issue is that the wax that they put on the pickup to stop humming does cover the screw holes that you use to mount the pickups to the pickguard. So before you start trying to screw them on, take a loom at the holes for wax, if there is any just use a small pin or toothpick even and just poke through the hole to clear it out. Enjoy these! They are amazing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do all the fat '50s sets have beveled polepieces? i just got a set that has custom shop stickers on the bottoms but the poles are not beveled.**
A: I would guess not if that's what you got....you might go onto Fender's website and ask tech assistance......

**Q: Is white the only color option available for this item?**
A: Yes but you can buy any color of pickup cover seperately

**Q: Anyone know of a noiseless substitute for the fat 50s middle pickup? Silent backplates dont work (RWRP wound). Love the pick up, hate the hum, I need one closest to the tone, either Fender or SDuncan.**
A: The Fender Vintage Noiseless Strat Pickup Set for $199.99 is the closest noise-cancelling pickup that Fender offers. You will get the same tone, response, and range without the 60-cycle hum.

**Q: How long are the wires?**
A: Well, they would need to reach from the top pickup to at least the first potentiometer and the switch, so I would say anywhere from 6-8 inches +/-.  When I wired my strat, I cut them so I didn’t have a bunch of excess.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pups!
*by S***Y on July 25, 2012*

Wow is all I can saw about these cool pickups! Nice and round is how I would describe them. Meaty but not too thick. Even through the tone spectrum and nice clarity and sparkle when you turn the tone pot all the way up. Attractively packaged - cool wax covered cloth push back wire - easily marked for correct installation. My Strat has never sounded this good - I think I may put these pups in all of my Strats. EDIT 10-23-2012 After using these for a few months I still love them! Great tones and good looks! ********************************************** 09/27/2013 The gift that keeps on giving! I still love these pickups - they just sound awesome. It never fails that I get a compliment on my guitar's tone EVERY NIGHT I play. Awesome. Building a second guitar and these will go in there also.
