5.0 out of 5 stars great sound, August 29, 2009

Good sound - the middle is NOT reverse wound/reverse polarity so when selecting position 2 or 4 there is no hum canceling. There is also none of the drop in volume found in modern strats.

To eliminate the noise I expected I completely shielded the cavity and pickguard with copper foil. The grounds were strengthened and moved to a single point (no solder to pots)

There is no noise at all until the vol pot is opened up above 8 - then it is just kind of warm - no microphonic squeals at all - don't see a need to wax the pickups.

Great vintage tone - clear bell/piano like tones - using a 30watt tube - this is the sound I was after

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Stratocaster Sound, February 9, 2011

After experimenting with pickups for many years, I finally have settled on the 57/62 pickups for my perfect classic Stratocaster sound. I found that Custom Shop 69, Custom Shop Fat 50's and Texas Specials all have a specialized sound, whereas the 57/62 pickups can handle just about everything from blues to rock. They sound great both clean and with overdrive. Pickup sound is a matter of opinion of course. If you want to sound like SRV, Jimi Hendrix or David Gilmour, keep searching, but if you want to grow up and work on your own tone, try these.

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)
