Reviewing the pickups not the sellers
By Robert Wyman
Since I was born in 1954 and decided a few years ago to learn to build guitars I decided to build a Strat as close to a '54 as I could. The first year of the Stratocasters.Not much to really stress about building this "Strat". I used "swamp" ash, not alder, as the originals were swamp ash. I found a Fender re-issue 1957 Buddy Guy maple neck at a local shop. I made the body from scratch, swamp ash is lightweight and not difficult to cut and shape.I bought a set of the Custom Shop 54 pickups and long story short this guitar sounds fantastic. It has the bite, twang and brightness of an old Strat and I would not part with it for anything. It can growl too...A few hot players in my area have played it and all have praised the sound. A swamp ash body with these pickups would please any Fender I am sure.

Put these in my american special with the vintage wiring spec and absolutely love them. This is the way Leo made the strat to sound like.

Classic tone
By Mark Pilipczuk
I recently installed a set of these into a 1987 Japan market Squier Stratocaster. They replaced a set of Fender American Standard pickups in that guitar. I was looking for a more vintage sound from the guitar and hit on these. They have a clear sound with what I would call a 'pure' tone. They work great for clean sounds as well as slightly overdriven. Run through a Boss Metal Zone pedal? Nope. Stick with a Fender amp and amp or pedal overdrive and this is the ticket for classic Fender tone. I think they'd sound better with fatter (.10s or .11s) strings and I did have to fiddle with the pickup height a bit to make sure I was getting enough sound from the high E string and that they were balanced pickup to pickup.The only reason I give these a 4 star rating is that the middle pickup should have been reverse wound for hum cancellation in the 2/4 positions. Other than that, good choice for classic pure and bell-like Fender tone.
