Fender Pure Vintage 59 Strat PU Set

Sound can be very subjective and in the case of pickups in a particular guitar hard to objectively describe. I bought these after having tried a set of Fender '65 pickups.
In hindsight the rather general description provideb by Fender was correct '65 set delivers true direct clean 'surftone'. It was however not my taste. I do love the '59 set. I would describe them as true vintage strat tone 'with a bit character'. Just not too 'clinical clean and bright' and driving a tube amp both with and without pedals (Fender Japan 62 strat, alder body)

Pickups zijn subliem! Niets op aan te merken qua geluid etc. De schroefgaten waren bij de mijne echter zo klein dat ik ze zelf moest "uitsnijden" zodat de schroefjes er doorheen passen. Dat had ik niet verwacht van een Fender product.
