5.0 out of 5 stars
Great pure Stratocaster sound,
By stratplayer (new york) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fender Accesories 099-2114-000 Electric Guitar Part (Electronics)
The thing that sets these pickups apart is that they produce the purest clean highs. If you want the fat Texas blues sound, these are not going to do it for you without a distortion pedal. On the other hand, if you want the "Little Wing" sound, these are for you. I like them because you have a choice. You can get a clean, classic Strat sound and still get a bluesy sound by adding a distortion pedal. Remember that Jimi Hendrix played current (at the time) brand new strats, so this is essentially the sound he started with to create his final sound.
By the way, the set that I got did not have a reverse wound middle pickup. That may have been a mistake on Fender's part, I don't know. I mention it in case it's important to you. For some reason, they don't get as much attention as other Fender pickups, but I am extremely happy with them.

Get your strat this gift !!,

You want an authentic vintage Strat sound? don't look further, these are the pickups you need. If you want to re-create Hendrix, early Pink Floyd's sound, these are the right pickups. I installed it on a standard Strat, and god.. I had like a new instrument!! you want keep you guitar all your life and enjoy it at its best, get pickups that will age naturally, then this is for you.
Beware, these pickups are not warm like would be EMG or others, but you will keep that bright sound and a hear every note even with an moderate overdrive, your sound will have less overdrive than with standard pickups, but a lot brighter and like a Strat should sound like. I'm delighted I bought these pickups, even at twice their price looking back, I would do it again !!

Just bought these in mid-Feb 2012 to get my hands on a set of initialed set of AY strat pickups since I hear she is retiring soon, or has already, so she will no longer be involved in any part of the production of these. Nothing in the product description here, or in the reviews, mentioned Abby, so I took a chance. I was happy to find them initialed by her. Of course, they're not as coveted as ones signed/wound by Abby, but she's still part of the process, for what that's worth (and it might not be much). -1 star for only coming in white. I will update my review for tone, etc. once I've had a chance to put them in one of my guitars.
