Full Description
View Full DescriptionIconic period tones from Fat '60s pickups
Let every note ring with hallmark '60s quality. The Fender Custom Shop Fat '60s Strat pickups epitomize the sound of the revolutionary decade, infusing each performance with the iconic snap, bite, and punch that immortalized the Stratocaster. Crafted with an eye for authentic vintage tone, these pickups employ Formvar magnet wire, beveled alnico 2 magnets, and period-correct cloth wire and fiber bobbins, ensuring each note is drenched in warm, sweet outputs reminiscent of the '60s era. The reverse-wound reverse-polarity middle pickup reduces hum, bringing modern clarity to the timeless sound.
While they exude a classic vibe, the Fat '60s pickups are engineered for contemporary performance. Their overwound design adds a rich low-end punch, breathing new life into the Strat's legendary character. This allows for the delivery of powerful riffs with sharp articulation, offering a sound palette that's as versatile as it is distinct. The meticulous construction and attention to detail in these pickups mean you're not just playing notes; you're weaving a part of musical history into your performances.
