2nd best Start pickups in the world
In my opinion, maybe Fender PV 65s are little bit (like 15%) more versatile (coming with their own saturation though), but these made my Strat come alive and sounding like a "real" Strat should.
Quality - top notch, packaging - perfect, sound - the epitome of a 50`s Strat. Had zero problems whatsoever.
Perfect for everything up to moderate OD/Distortion (buzz kicks in harder with heavier tones + !no RWRP! middle (this is expected, though, for 50s PV series), so all positions are...fuzzy idling, if you care.
I adore the sound, it is perfect. The output is moderate and if you want to do Hendrix, 65s or 57/62s are slightly better because of hotter output, but for the classic rock, blues, punk-rock I find these pickups are just perfect. More "civilized" than 65s or 57/62s, but you can also dig them really hard, so for those gritty, stone-in-the-face punk-rock tones I`d prefer 59s.

Fender 59 strat pickup set
I fitted these to my “Shadows” Stratocaster. These give me very authentic sound for the Shadows lead guitar solos. They have a beautiful sound. Highly recommended!

Nice...
Replaced the standard pickups in my Squire Classic Vibe with a set of Fender Pure Vintage 59 Pick ups....and what a big difference it made.
Now my guitar has a much warmer sound...like it a lot.

Fender Pure Vintage 1959
Easily to montage into my lefthanded Strat.
Only thing you have to do is adjusting the body a little bit. By cutting away al little bit of bodywood.

Super
J'ai mis ces micros sur ma Strat (devenue PartCaster) et je les adore.
Le son du micro manche est rond et chaud.
Le son du micro chevalet est claquant à souhait !
Personnellement, j'ai installé un switch qui me permet de joindre le micro chevalet et manche ensemble, et cette combination est sublime ! (Un peu proche d'un son de Tele).
(Je n'ai jamais aimé le son du micro milieu donc je ne donnerai pas d'avis)

The authentic SRV sound
I've bought this set in order to complete my 2005 Highway One Strat restoring.
This set can achieve the most sought after Stratocaster sound, and really translates all the frequencies from the guitar woods.
With the right string gauges and a ts9 style pedal it is possible to play in the style of SRV without busting the bank... and trust me, the satisfaction is guaranteed!
