All user reviews for the Fender Custom Shop Custom '69 Stratocaster Pickup Set

(Originally written by wrigleyx/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Hello everybody

I installed this Custom 69 pickup set on my Mexican standard Strat.

The original sound was quite thick, characterless and muddy and had not enough dynamics. It was a battle everyday to try get a good sound out of this guitar!!

With the '69 pickups, it's a fully different story!!

The sound is extremely dynamic, the overall response is brilliant and the clean sound is crystal-clear!!

Positions 2 and 4 are amazing for clean sounds!

Crunch sounds are great because each of the five pickup combinations sounds clearly different. I wanted the same sound as Kenny Wayne Shepherd and I got it.

These pickups match exactly the expectations you usually have of a high-quality Strat!

This set is also ideal for funk licks.

It sounds alright for Vaughan-like blues stuff if you have a powerful overdrive pedal.

The sound is also perfect for blues songs in Kenny Wayne or Clapton style.

I don't regret having bought them.

It took me one hour to install them on my guitar.

Don't hesitate, just buy them! Trust me, you won't regret.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again!
