Product Description

Fender Fat50C.Shop PU Set, 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.

PROS
  • • Alnico 5 magnets deliver a classic, articulate Strat tone.
  • • Staggered pole pieces improve string balance and clarity.
  • • Phase-reversed middle pickup eliminates hum in in-between positions.
  • • Custom Shop quality construction ensures durability and consistent performance.
CONS
  • • Output level might be a bit low for modern high-gain styles.
  • • Can be a bit pricey compared to some aftermarket alternatives.
  • • May require professional installation for optimal results.
