Fender Custom Shop Custom '54 Stratocaster Pickups Set of 3

The Fender Custom Shop Custom ’54 Stratocaster Pickup Set is designed to recreate the articulate, glassy voice that defined the earliest Stratocasters. Built with period-correct materials and vintage-style construction methods, these pickups deliver the clear highs, scooped mids, and dynamic response associated with original 1954-era Strat tones.

Using Formvar-coated magnet wire, staggered hand-beveled pole pieces, and Alnico 5 magnets, this set balances clarity and sustain while maintaining the expressive feel players expect from a vintage-output single-coil setup. Whether you’re chasing classic clean tones, edge-of-breakup rhythm sounds, or articulate lead work, the Custom ’54 set captures the unmistakable character of early Stratocasters.
