The "1957" Strat Sound: Clarity, Brightness, and Personality
The Fender Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster Pickup Set is designed for guitarists seeking the vintage Strat sound in its most iconic form: sparkling highs, singing mids, and precise lows, with a defined feel that highlights right-hand playing. Ideal for expressive cleans, snappy crunch tones, and excellent clarity in both chords and single notes.
A Set Designed for Stratocaster Lovers, Both in the Studio and on Stage
Whether you are restoring a vintage-style Strat or want to give your instrument a true "old school" character, this set offers a very musical response: it reacts to nuances, guitar volume, and picking intensity. The typical 1950s staggered pole pieces contribute to string balance and a more natural harmonic response, especially appreciated in the middle pickup positions.
Design Details: Materials and Finishes Serving Authenticity
Fender incorporates vintage pickup manufacturing choices here: formvar copper winding for an authentic tonal color, Alnico 5 magnets for dynamic output and generous sustain, and hand winding aimed at optimal sound quality. The finish with cotton cloth bobbin covers enhances the vintage aesthetic and fits perfectly in a traditional Strat configuration.
