Great Upgreat For a Strat!!

A lot more balanced than the ´69 custom shop set. Bass, mids and treble frequencies sing to your ears. Remember they are NOT hum canceling, that means, just for real strat fans. Enjoy the Sparkle and glassy tone!!

'54 Strat pups

I've had these in my Strat for a while. They have a little more output than the '69 Strat pickups. More treble response than the Texas specials and the SD SSL1's. I like them. Nice clear tone.

Best Pups Fender Makes IMHO

Tortured myself over which to buy... 69's or 54'S. After much debate and research I decided on these. Think I made the right decision. I only have a small tube practice amp and have heard it's better to go low wattage and push the amp rather than have more watts than you need and have to back off. The 69's are hotter, but the 54's are more "balanced". The bridge pickup is about the best Fender makes and that's where the difference is. The only gripe I have is that they are pricey, but it's like they say... you get what you pay for!

After installing one set of these into my G & L Legacy Special, I loved the clean yet powerful tone I got out of them. So, I went ahead and purchased a second set and installed them into my other G & L Legacy. If you're into surf, country, classic rock, etc. then give these a try.
