The Fender Fat '50s Strat Pickup Set gives you calibrated pickups constructed with hand-beveled, staggered Alnico V magnets and Formvar magnet wire. '50s Strat Pickups deliver enhanced bass response without the harsh midrange. The middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity for hum canceling in positions 2 and 4. OEM on Custom Shop Fender Showmaster series Stratocaster guitars.
This is the 2nd set of Fat 50's that I have owned over the years, recently I put a set in a Parts-o-caster project strat and previously in a Fender MIM standard Strat. In both cases it made the guitars sound much nicer. The tone is great, to me they sound how a Strat should sound but only with a little more of everything for good measure. I do not want ice picky tones but I do want the strat shimmer and cluck with a hint of roundness and warmth but these deliver.
Really nice pickups! Had the Hot Rails and Jeff Beck swapped out with these pups...a lot more tone with out all that mid-range box sound drop out that you'd get from going from the middle single coil to the Hot Rails. I tried to turn my Strat into a Les Paul...no, big mistake,let a Strat be a Strat.
