An Authentic Reinterpretation of the Early '60s Strat Sound
Designed from the models of a 1963 Stratocaster, the Fender Pure Vintage "57/62 Strat" aim to deliver a sound very close to the historic pickups: a sparkling but never harsh top end, singing mids, and a rounded low end. The result is ideal for capturing the vintage Strat tonal signature, whether in crystal-clear clean tones or edgy crunch.
Who and What Styles?
This set of three pickups is intended for Stratocaster players seeking an organic and highly expressive response: blues, surf, funk, pop, classic rock, or any style where attack precision and transparency in the intermediate positions matter. They respond strongly to the volume pot, pick dynamics, and touch variations, ensuring a lively performance.
Manufacturing Choices That Make the Difference
From the fiber coil material to the cloth-covered wiring, everything is geared towards authenticity and an "old school" feel. The Alnico 5 magnets provide articulation and presence, while the hand-slanted staggered pole pieces contribute to string balance and vintage character. With consistent DC resistance across neck, middle, and bridge, and inductance aligned with traditional model spirit, this set delivers a Fender Pure Vintage sound, rich in harmonics and naturally musical.
