Review: Love These Pickups!! - Purchased this set of pickups to replace the original ones fitted to my 2007 Left-Handed American Standard Stratocaster. The originals were okay but I wanted something a bit different. What a difference these pickups make to the sound of the instrument, the improvement is huge in my opinion. I just absolutely love the sounds that I am now able to get - from classic 50s and 60s cleans to the overdriven sounds that are synonymous with the “Hendrix” era. Cannot fault the pickups or the seller. Super fast delivery as usual.
Review: Great tone - Brilliant pick ups. Very happy with my purchase. To my ear this gives a great ‘Blackie’ Clapton tone which is what I was after. Only downside is a lack of reverse wound middle pickup- but I have pick guard shield and shielded the cavity with copper tape so there is minimal hum in my set up anyway.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do the deluxe drives compare to the seymour duncan ssl3s?**
A: Both are overwound. VERY overwound. So expect loss of highs.  They'll be mid heavy, so be sure that you want that.  The Fenders have Alnico 3 magnets, which are weaker than than the Alnico 5's in the Duncan pickups.  Inductance, which is a relatively good gauge for output and also -loss- of top end, is very high for the Fenders.  I'd expect the build quality to be much better on the Duncans, but the price reflects that.  The Fenders are not made like the regular/older Fenders. These have plastic bobbins.

BTW, Ignore the 'tone in your fingers' guy.  Not a helpful comment, and most people who resort to that tired cliche don't have much clue about what you asked them.

**Q: Do some deluxe drive pickups have staggered poles... the ones I got last time did not?**
A: The description above is in error. They are flat poles, much like 1986-2000 American Standard Strats, excepting that those pickups were alnico 5 magnets-these are alnico 3.

**Q: Are these the same set that were once featured on the "upgraded" (and now-discontinued) Highway One Stratocasters?**
A: Not the same this pickups are alnico 3 magnets and overwound

**Q: Do the covers come off easily? My pick guard has smaller slots**
A: As far as I remember they slide right off. GREAT pickups by the way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEWARE OF FAKES
*by M***K on 27 October 2022*

For quite a while I had been procrastinating over the purchase of Fender custom shop Fat 50's and I finally decided to decided to purchase them from Amazon as they had the best price. I was all excited when my parcel arrived and eagerly opend it up to examine my purchase. To say I was gutted when I set eyes on them is an understatement. I had researched these pickups for some time , I had looked at many pictures of them but when I saw what I had been sent I was devestated for what was inside the Fender packaging was clearly NOT Fat 50s. The ones I received had thin pvc covered wires in various colours including blue ! They were not the chunky traditional waxy cloth covered white and black of the bridge and neck pickups and the yellow and black of the middle ,also the build and construction was clearly inferior and no fender custom shop stickers underneath.. I contacted Amazon immediately with my concerns and for a short while I was extermely anxious about the situation but credit to them they arranged another shipment for me and I was able to send back the fakes. For good measure I made an package opening video just in case the same were to happen but thankfully the second set were legit. You don't normally expect this type of issue with items sold directly by Amazon but clearly they have an issue autheticating their stock. Somehow, fake/substitute items have been creeping into their stock. Now the good news I finally recieved the correct items and the difference in construction can clearly be seen so if you buy these know what you should be getting. As for the Fat 50s ....all the hype is justified for if you long for that quintessential sound that the Strat is famous for then these deliver in spades, their clarity and sweetness in my opinion just make them sound 'right'. Yes nowadays you can get all manner of pickup types including ceramic but to me they are not what I believe a strat should sound like you may as well get a different guitar. IMHO Fat 50s are wonderful.
