These Custom 69 Strat pickups nail that late '60s vibe – think Hendrix, Clapton, and SRV. They're a fantastic upgrade for vintage-style Strats or any Strat player wanting a more articulate and balanced tone. If you’re chasing that classic, bell-like Strat sound without going full Custom Shop on the entire guitar, this is a really sweet spot.

Product Description

Fender Custom Shop 69 Strat PU Set, Original Pickup Set@There is probably no other guitar in the world that has been played by as many guitarists as the Fender Stratocaster. There is hardly an instrument that offers so much scope for tinkering around on, so it is no wonder that Fender offers a whole range of different pickups for their star model.

The Custom 69 Strat pickup (here in a set of 3) produces the sound of the legendary Strats of the late 60s: clear, airy highs, but also enough mids to penetrate even rough sound realms. Strat pure sound!
