The "Summer of Love" doesn't have to end... The
Fender® Custom Shop Custom '69 Strat® pickups have
the tone you'll fall in love with. Own the tone
that defined an era. For a short period in the
late 60's, Fender® used a height staggered Alnico
5's and a special grey bobbin which produced
clear, transparent highs and thumping lows, and
that is what Fender® is reproducing with the
Custom Shop '69 pickups.
Fender® Custom Shop '69 Stratocaster® pickups produce
one of the most revered guitar sounds in popular
music history - the full, punchy late '60s blues
rock tone that ruled the era from Monterey on
the West Coast to Woodstock on the East Coast.
Because of the clarity and transparency created
by the unique coil wind and magnet structure,
the '69 pickup design works especially well with
pedals allowing the low end to thump and the
high end to soar.
As of mid 2011 the
Custom '69 pickup sets are no longer being dated
and initialed by Abigail Ybarra, they are still
exactly the same in construction and design, but
will no longer bear Abigail's inspection
markings on the bottom plate. This information
comes directly from Fender, if you have any
questions to this change please call Fender® direct at 480-596-7195.

Important Note: If you are
selecting your pickguard assembly to be built
with one of the '56/'59, '57, '62 or '65 vintage pickguards they are unshielded as
provided by Fender. To have the genuine Fender®
full coverage aluminum pickguard shielding plate or '57 control
area aluminum shielding plate installed please add it separately
below using the appropriate "Add to Cart"
button.
These separate aluminum shielding plates are specific and authentic to
how Fender was shielding their pickguard
assemblies during the '50s and early to mid
60's. The '57 pickguard typically will
have the control area aluminum shielding plate
installed, the '62 and '65 pickguard typically
will have the full coverage aluminum shielding
plate installed.
