Description
If you love that classic early-Strat sparkle but want a touch more low-end muscle, the Fat ’50s set from Fender’s Custom Shop is built for exactly that. These are the same single-coils found in Fender American Standard Stratocasters, wound with an eye toward beefing up the bass response without losing that airy, glassy top end vintage Strats are famous for.
- Formvar-coated magnet wire keeps the highs bright and glassy
- Alnico 5 magnets for focused output and lively dynamics
- Staggered, hand-beveled polepieces even out string-to-string balance
- Reverse-wound middle pickup cancels hum in positions two and four
- Period-correct cloth wiring and fiber bobbins for that authentic vintage build
Output numbers (bass/mid/treble) run 5/5/6 in the neck, 5/3/5 in the middle, and 5/5/7 in the bridge, with DC resistance of 6.0k, 6.3k, and 6.2k ohms respectively, and inductance of 2.4, 2.75, and 2.8 henries. Covers come in white.
Everything you need to drop them straight into your guitar is included: mounting screws, height-adjustment tubing, and a wiring diagram, so you’re not left digging through the parts bin. Whether you’re chasing Buddy Holly twang or want a slightly more aggressive spin on vintage Strat tone, this set delivers it with authenticity intact.
