Great Pick ups
These are high quality and great sounding pickups. Indeed they are 'period-correct' meaning that all 3 pickups are the same. Having the same output is not a problem for me but one thing to consider is that none of the 3 pick ups is reverse wound to fit in the middle, meaning that you will get the famous 60 cycle hum a lot! Again not a problem for me but it would have been great to have the information available before hand.
For all fender products usually there is a lack of all useful information, so do your extensive research before hand.

Transformed my '80s MIJ Strat
I've no way of comparing these pickups to a set of original 1965s, of course ? but what I can say is that they transformed my early '80s MIJ Fender Strat from something cheap and unloveable into a very useful machine indeed.
I now have a very wide range of sounds at my disposal and finally feel like I have a Strat worthy of the name: crisp and clear, and able to handle whatever any distortions I throw at it.
One minor quibble for Fender: I wish they'd be more detailed in their supplied schematic, as import Strats have a very different switch to that illustrated, and it's not clear whether there is any difference between each of the three pickups in the set. I turned to Google with both questions and got there in the end.

Excellent vintage sounding SSS pickup set
Only drawback is that they are too "vintage correct" and the Middle pickup is non-RWRP which means you don't have the hum-canceling effect in positions 2 and 4 with this set, unfortunately.

Great sounding vintage Pickups
They sound great and are easy to solder but the holes have no threading. You need to really push the screws in so that they cut in their own threading in the soft material
