Decent tone, but NOTHING like the real thing
Bought these purely to compare with the real thing... a set of actual ‘59 Strat pickups. I doubt that anybody will be surprised to know these sound like Strat pickups... but thats as far as it goes. They have very little of the airyness and bass response of the originals.
I measured the sets under load, using a professional LCR meter and the differences became apparent... the Q was miles different, the inductance differed significantly and the capacitance was higher too. So my subjective opinion from listening was confirmed by measurement.
If you need a fairly low output, bright Strat pickup set, these are really okay... but don’t believe the ‘59 hype... it simply isn’t true imo.

THE Vintage sound
This is a great set of pick-ups.They remind me to the early Fender Stratocaster. I strongly recommend those pick-ups
