## Description

As Heard on: Fender American Vintage Stratocaster guitar. Fender Original �57/�62 Strat single-coil pickups are reverse-engineered from a 1963 Stratocaster guitar. These pickups deliver vintage-Strat sound, feel and vibe, with glistening highs and warm lows.

Review: THE Strat sound - These Fender Original '57/'62 Strat Pickups are the pickups that will deliver exceptional chime, jangle, and crisp tone. I installed them in my '94 Mexican Stratocaster (the first guitar I ever had), and run that through a Vox A15 with a little overdrive... and that's the last single coil guitar I'll be having. It's that type of tone like the guitar that plays the solo in the 1965 song 'Nowhere Man' by the Beatles (which I believe is a Stratocaster). I particularly like the neck pickup sound, but all three sound distinctively different and very good. If you want your Strat to do Strat stuff, this is it. I also sort of... installed them with custom options. The guitar was looking quite old with a hideous yellowing/browning pickguard, etc, so I went ahead and made it a whole big project. Using parts non-standard to the Stratocaster I can also play these pickups in series (BM, or NM) which makes them more humbucker-like in tone and better for heavier distortion, with option to play them out-of-phase (which strongly highlights treble). These unconventional connections also sound good, but not better than each pickup individually. As you can see I installed these things without altering the normal appearance of the guitar. I may be getting extra chime out of them because I installed 500K potentiometers instead of the native 250K ones so I just want to put that out there too. Very glad I have these pickups in my guitar.
Review: '57/'62 pickups - The Search is Over... - Like the 80s song, “The Search is Over”, I now realize that love is, indeed, right before my eyes…or should I say ears! I owned a Made in Japan ‘57 Strat Reissue (maybe from 1984 or so) that I foolishly sold years ago. Then, I spent years under the misguided assumption that hotter pickups are somehow better. Still, I’ve always missed the way my ’57 sounded. What defines the strat sound to me is the pure bell-like tones, bright clarity, and its ability to rock or get funky if needed. I also love the satisfying quack in the 2nd & 4th positions. The Texas Specials I’ve used in my guitars for years are nice pickups, but they don’t quite deliver on the qualities listed above. With these '57/'62 pickups, it feels like a sonic blanket has been lifted and I’m really hearing the guitar again. It’s grin-inducing! Three things to note: 1. The marketing here, and on the box I received, state that these pickups rate 5 out of 5 on the output(hotness) scale. My ears tell me this isn’t so. These sound like pure, warm vintage pickups. Oddly, I’ve seen other fender literature that states they are 1 out of 5. 2. The pickup specs list a resistance for each pickup of 5.6 ohms. I tested mine with a multimeter before installation and each pickup tested 5.7 ohms. This is surprisingly consistent and close to what is advertised. 3. As other reviewers have noted, the screws can be tricky when installing pickups to the pick guard. It took some finessing to get them to go in. I’ve never encountered that when changing pickups and it did take some time and patience. The only downside is that they are pricey and now I want to put these in my other strats. I strongly recommend these pickups with the caveat that sound is so subjective. Still, if you enjoy the warmth and clarity of vintage pickups, you will most likely love these. Happy playing!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are they called 57/62 pickups if they are reverse engineered from a 63 strat?**
A: These were developed probably 30 years ago and at the time we had two Vintage Reissue Strats, the '57 and the '62. These pickups were used in both so that was the name given to them and we have never changed it.

**Q: Se envian a España en ese precio**
A: Read the shipping limitations

**Q: I ordered two sets. Great pups, but come with wrong large screws, for pickguards, not for mounting ?**
A: The larger bolts should be for mounting the pickups.

**Q: does the position of each pickup (neck/bridge) matter?**
A: I don't know, I've never tried the pickups in opposite positions. I would think that the wiring would be more the concern.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strat's Incredible! (PICKUP The Pieces)
*by S***R on January 6, 2012*

I have a MIM Strat that had stock pickups in it and the tone was good....but lacked that certain something. I wanted to change the pups and so I did a LOT of research on different brands and styles of single coils, and saw these on Youtube and was BLOWN AWAY! I bought a set from Amazon and got them installed and to my surprise they sounded even better in person.I could definitely hear the difference between these and the stock pickups. I love that vintage tone that these pups give you. If you're looking to upgrade your sound, try these out. You Won't be disappointed! You don't have to pay big bucks on an American Strat, and by the way, (and I'm not an Amazon employee. LOL!) Amazon has the cheapest prices on these that I've seen. Go get yours NOW!!! :o)
