This set offers a nice balance of highs, punchy lows and a hint of mid range, just like the pickups from the 50s. The period correct constructions delivers vintage warmth like all Planet Tone pickups, where you can expect vibrancy, tonal dynamics and that true 50s life!

The PERFECT Strat Tone!!!
I love clean to overdriven vintage fender tones. I can't get enough of the old Jerry Garcia strat tone. I have been looking for the perfect strat tone for years, experimenting with different' modern Alnico 5's, Texas blues style pickups, and 1960's style pickups, never finding the tone I really wanted. Planet Tone had these out to me quick, I installed them the day I got them, and they immediately blew me away. My love for these pickups will not fade away. The are perfect.
