Amazing tone!

I have been a SD pickup fan for many years. I had SSL-1s in my partscaster but was not happy with the tone. I figured I would give these a try, I sure am glad I did. The tone is crisp and clear but sounds amazing with overdrive as well. Very responsive! Puts a smile on my face every time I plug in my Strat now.

Great strat pickups for a lush midrange tone

I have these pickups in a Fender Strat and absolutely love them! I found them a bit harsh and punchy until I lowered them quite a bit. I struggled to find the right height but settled on about 2.4mm on the treble side and about 3.2mm on the bass side, when holding the string at the last fret, then adjusting slightly to taste. I also wired the middle pickup to the same tone pot as the neck to allow me to roll off the tone when needed. This guitar allows me to get a lush and open sounding midrange tone (think Chris Stapleton). I highly recommend giving them a try!

Pick ups

Music background: I started playing guitar when I was maybe 12 years on an acoustic guitar that my gran father gave me. It had nylon strings, there was no you tube back then so I had to develop an ear so I can play songs. When that did not work I took guitar lessons and th

An Incredible, Versatile Set of Pickuos

I have a strat with this set of pickups and have been using these pickups for about eight years. By far my favorite strat pups I've had the opportunity to use and hear. Playing sessions and gigs requires be to have versatility and flexibility, and these do just that. They are so much more than their "blues" moniker, and would highly recommend a set of these to anyone looking for an inspiring sound.

Further, these pickups tend to be a little trident in the upper mids when set too high, and playing with pickup height can really change the overall tonal balance of the set. I have my set fairly low and haven't touched them for years.

Not what I expected but awesome

I was expecting vintage, low gain bluesy pickups but these do far more. They sound great with low and ultra high-gain amps. They aren't as noisy as many single coils are too. I'm going to buy another set, they are that good.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
