Frequently Asked Questions
NOS pickups are typically from vintage Fender inventory, potentially offering more variation. These are reproductions aiming for consistent '65 spec, so they’re more predictable but may lack the unique quirks of a true NOS pickup.
Yes, the four-hole mounting pattern is standard, but you might need to adjust your wiring to fully utilize the '65 Strat circuit (e.g., a three-way switch for the middle pickup).
The aging is a carefully applied finish designed to mimic the wear and discoloration of vintage pickups; it's not a deep, destructive aging process.
