2nd best Start pickups in the world
Mr. Fox 03.02.2022
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.

Decent tone, but NOTHING like the real thing
Jenna 04.08.2020
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

Fender 59 strat pickup set
Dave Kay 07.10.2021
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!
