Fender Fat50C.Shop PU Set

Start 360°

Pickup - 50's Custom ShopThere is probably no guitar in our world that has been played by as many guitarists as the Fender Stratocaster. It is also hardly a guitar so much to craft as this, and so it is no wonder that Fender also offers a whole range of different pickups.

If you are looking for a vintage Strat-Sound, but like it a bit more powerful, is this set of 3 best-served. Alnico 5 magnets with staggered pole pieces produce the slightly richer yet clear sound. Thanks to the phase-reversed mid-pickup, the centre positions (2 + 4) are free of humming.

Set of 3 single coils
Staggered
Characteristics: Clear "sweet" sound with rich, round bass and soft, almost velvety heights.

nice typical fender sound

enakki 26.07.2019

these was the replacement for the ceramic pickups in my mexican strat. the sound is very nice, more typical “straty”. the hum is not that high probably as the pickups are not so hot. I’m happy with these pickups but that’ personal preference. very nice glassy cleans.

Sounds like .. errr a strat!

axewound 16.08.2017

Had these in my USA standard which i got rid of and eventually brought a mex strat .. love the sound of these they sound like a strat should, not too ice-pick and have a good snarl when needed. A wee bit of noise but pretty quiet

Report

One of the best all around strat sets

Votanik 16.01.2019

the only issue i had is that oddly the screws contained in the set were thicker then the pickup holes, i solve this by opening these holes with an other pointy screw i was luckily to have .

i can image a situation where a nob would not be able to install the pickups because of the crappy screws.

Fender what are you thinking?

Report

Excellent and balanced set

LeonardS 04.10.2022

I got my hands on a second hand, made in Mexico Stratocaster.
I bought the guitar for the playability and looks, but after a while the sound simply bothered me, way too sharp and thin in any position.
So I decided to upgrade the pickups with this set and now guitar sounds like how a Stratocaster should sound. Certainly not the cheapest set, but it surely sounds warm and full now.
No regrets !
