Transformed my '80s MIJ Strat

25.08.2016

I've no way of comparing these pickups to a set of original 1965s, of course ? but what I can say is that they transformed my early '80s MIJ Fender Strat from something cheap and unloveable into a very useful machine indeed.

I now have a very wide range of sounds at my disposal and finally feel like I have a Strat worthy of the name: crisp and clear, and able to handle whatever any distortions I throw at it.

One minor quibble for Fender: I wish they'd be more detailed in their supplied schematic, as import Strats have a very different switch to that illustrated, and it's not clear whether there is any difference between each of the three pickups in the set. I turned to Google with both questions and got there in the end.

No, they are not "noiseless",
Yes, in the meanings it is also rumbling,
Yes, they are 5.9k ohms "weak" as they were always, but:
How many Welthits have been written and played on such pickup-sets? Countless. Ultimately, it is the hand that plays, and not the pickup.
The set is as authentic as it is, including the not so pure white caps - the only thing that is different from old Strat pickups from those days are the missing cone springs for the height setting (here with current Silikongummis) , And the signature of the wraparound XYZ, which is also missing, but does nothing. And the magnets are certainly fresher than ever on a hopelessly overpriced vintage pickup set from 1900 and snow. Pickup screws are the version with a countersink head, as it was in the past. Made in USA, and the price also fits.
