Fender Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster Pickup Set

The Fender Pure Vintage ’57 Stratocaster Pickup Set captures the unmistakable voice of late-1950s Strat tone with the balanced response, sparkle, and clarity that made the original Stratocaster such a defining instrument. Designed with period-correct materials and construction techniques, these pickups deliver tight lows, rounded mids, and smooth, bell-like highs with classic vintage-style output.

Built with Formvar-coated magnet wire, Alnico 5 magnets, staggered hand-beveled pole pieces, and fiber bobbins, the Pure Vintage ’57 set recreates the dynamic feel and articulation associated with original 1957 Stratocaster pickups. Whether you’re restoring a vintage-style build or upgrading a modern Strat, this set delivers authentic Fender single-coil character with exceptional responsiveness.
