Product Description
Fender Custom Shop '69 Stratocaster pickups produce one of the most revered guitar sounds in popular music history-the full, punchy late-'60s blues rock tone that ruled the era from Monterey on the West Coast to Woodstock on the East Coast. Because of the clarity and transparency created by the unique coil wind and magnet structure, the '69 pickup design works especially well with pedals allowing the low end to thump and the high end to soar.

Getting to the point: these are the best pickups I have ever heard. I have 57-62 which I love. I have almost every major guitar ever made. Alnico 3 and 5's galore. 54's, 69's, Custom shop, Ceramics, crunch, p90's -- you name it. These are the best.
My experience was extremely fast shipping, great customer service and a wonderful product that I love so much. Total price for my guitar was right around $220 bucks and it easily beats my $2000 dollar strat. I'm not the bright bulb in the world so if *I* can do this, *YOU* can too.
I will add this: I've been playing guitar for 33 years. Putting it mildly, I have never been impressed with Tex Mex pickups but I LOVE these Texas Specials. I never thought anything would outshine my 57/62's but these do. I can't recommend these pickups enough.
If you have even a basic concept of soldering these will be VERY easy to install. The wiring diagram is clearly laid out and easy to understand.
As I said earlier, the sound of these is amazing. The neck pickup is nice and thick but not muddy, the middle has that classic chime and the bridge does a very good job of being trebily but not harsh or "ice picky". They really are not that noisy in the single positions. YES they do have a him to them, but its not bad! The middle positions are very him free though.
If you want a great authentic sounding stratocaster sound with just a little more balls these are a great choice.
My only issue with these pickups is hardly an issue at all because it's so minor. The issue is that the wax that they put on the pickup to stop humming does cover the screw holes that you use to mount the pickups to the pickguard. So before you start trying to screw them on, take a loom at the holes for wax, if there is any just use a small pin or toothpick even and just poke through the hole to clear it out.
Enjoy these! They are amazing.

Retrofitted to a 95 cij strat.
Soldering skills are required.
Make sure all of your wires are tidy before refitting the scratchplate.
Plug in and enjoy.
Le son est précis, chaud, dynamique. Tout ce qu’on attend d’une strat comme il se doit
Il suono è pulito, con attacco, ma non vetroso, bassa uscita.
