Nice pickup set

makkker 25.05.2018

A very warm, but sharp sounding pp set by fender. The bridge is quite bright, the middle sounds really warm, round, and jazzy, while the neck is deep, bluesy. I think there must be better sets out there, but I haven't tried all of them. After using a telecaster with duncan designed sets this set with my 2017 MIM standard sounds a bit different, not as twangy, not as detailed but something with a cool character. After all it's a good and reasonable choice, but I suggest, that if you have the opportunity check the available spare sets, then choose wisely. I have a very firm vision about my desired sound, so I'll search further and sell this three. But I must underline that again: good sounding set, though not exactly for my ears.

Get that vintage strat sound easily.

Love these pickups. I swapped the stock pickups out of my Made in Mexico Stratocaster for these, and what a difference! The muddiness is gone, and the bridge pickup has much more of a classic Strat sound. Note that the middle pickup is not reverse polarity, so if you wire these according to the standard diagrams, you'll still get hum in the 2 and 4 switch positions. If you want hum cancellation in 2 and 4, you can always reverse the hot and ground wires for the middle pickup, but I prefer the vintage setup. A lot of hum issues can be addressed with shielding and is only an issue on high gain stuff!

The sound is really decent

It has significally changed the sound of my cheap Eco stratocaster. These pickups are great for majority kind of music, but especially for some bluzy/funky/hard-rock things as expected. Though I was a bit dissapointed because pickups weren't shielded and a noise level dicreased. As a consequence I never play with a light turned up

Just wow....!

I've always played heavier music, in drop tunings and with EMG pickups. I've played more "classic" songs with the EMG setup and sure it sounds great, but it doesn't really sound authentic to that style of music.

The 57/62 Vintage pickup set just sounds.... amazing! These pickups are made for songs like "Sultans of Swing", any John Mayr song, blues, jazz, Brian May riffs, and so on.

The design or look of these pickups is just sexy. They look vintage as fuck and are just so beautiful, fits a stratocaster perfectly!

The sound is authentic and vintage, but manages to sing in a more modern style as well. The versatility of this pickup set is extraordinary.

Highly recommend this set of pickups for basically any style of music except for metal and heavier styles of music.
