## Description

As Heard on: Fender American Vintage Stratocaster guitar. Fender Original 57/62 Strat single-coil pickups are reverse-engineered from a 1963 Stratocaster guitar. These pickups deliver vintage-Strat sound, feel and vibe, with glistening highs and warm lows.

Review: Great real Strat tone without the noise - I bought these to replace the stock pickups in my Levinson Blade guitar (a Strat copy with higher quality). The original pickups had extremely bad 60 cycle hum. It was so bad that I couldn't even use the high gain on my Mesa/Boogie Mark IV amp. I was skeptical of the Hot Noiseless (Jeff Beck) pickups, but gave them a shot after reading the reviews. They exceeded my expectations. Not only is the noise gone (95% of it), but the tone is very authentic. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with these if you are genuinely seeking the Strat tone. The bridge pickup actually gets pretty heavy and stays tight, making it good for hard rock. No, these are not the best choice for metal, but that's not what these were designed for. There are some Strat purists out there that complain that noiseless pickups don't give as authentic of a tone as the original Strat pickups. While they are right, you're still going to get 95% of the real Strat tone with these pickups, and you'll be able to use them with any amount of gain. You can't really use the originals in high gain situations because of the 60 cycle noise. The bottom line is, these sound fantastic and are a huge upgrade from the stock Levinson pickups I had. I was even able to keep the same pickup covers on these to keep the original look of my guitar. Just be aware -- the pickup ribbon wires are very delicate, so do NOT take off the tape that they include with them. You have to be very careful with how you handle the pickups.
Review: Vintage Noiseless, truly brilliant pickups - I really love these pickups. I installed them in a 1993 strat with a rosewood fretboard and it sounds just like how I've always wanted this guitar to sound, but without the noise. At first I wasn't confident it would sound good because I wasn't up to changing the pots and installing the 1m and 500k pots that Fender sends with the set. I kept the 250k pots that came in the Emerson custom prewired kit that I have in this guitar. But the pickups have plenty of brightness with 250k pots. Even with the 250k pots I still find myself rolling off about the same top end as before with other pickups. These pickups seem to have a little less 'body' than the Pure Vintage 65 pickups I had, but I actually prefer the sound of the Vintage Noiseless. I'm not sure what accounts for this change in sound - it could be that the old pickups were Alnico 5 and these are Alnico 2 but I'm not an expert on those specs. Either way, the best joy is how clear and articulate these pickups are. They are very balanced sounding and every note just rings even with a lot of overdrive. And of course, they are totally noiseless, unlike the Lace Sensor Golds I have in a different strat with a maple neck. Those pickups are quiet but not totally noiseless like the Fender Vintage Noiseless are. I still like the Lace Sensor Golds for certain mood or applications, but I definitely prefer the traditional sound of these Vintage Noiseless pickups. Wonderful pickups.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are they called 57/62 pickups if they are reverse engineered from a 63 strat?**
A: These were developed probably 30 years ago and at the time we had two Vintage Reissue Strats, the '57 and the '62. These pickups were used in both so that was the name given to them and we have never changed it.

**Q: Se envian a España en ese precio**
A: Read the shipping limitations

**Q: I ordered two sets. Great pups, but come with wrong large screws, for pickguards, not for mounting ?**
A: The larger bolts should be for mounting the pickups.

**Q: does the position of each pickup (neck/bridge) matter?**
A: I don't know, I've never tried the pickups in opposite positions. I would think that the wiring would be more the concern.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet Mid Scooped Fender Sound! 57/62!
*by P***A on April 13, 2017*

The pickups are great! Nice mid scoopy fender sound! The 57/62 does not have an RWRP, some might get it with RWRP, but you can't be sure of it, but if your guitar is properly shielded then it won't hum much or try a dummy coil circuit, but these pickups sound great! Have a little more treble but it can be cut down from the tone knob, it's important to have a tone knob for the bridge pickup for 57/62 pickups as it can get a lot trebly, but only if you would like it. Overall great sound! Sweet sounding! Not at all harsh! Slightly more treble! But worth the money and excellent tone. Gear Depot didn't respond on time and also wasn't helpful as the pickups got delivered very late! 6 days after the delivery date on the other hand Amazon did a great job, it returned the shipping cost I paid for faster shipping and Amazon representatives were very helpful and cooperative.
