Individual Fender Strat Custom Shop 1969 pickup

An excellent pickup for Stratocaster to obtain a sound halfway between 57/62 and pure vintage 65, this pickup can be ideally placed in the neck or middle position but also in bridge. In bridge position it will be necessary to pay attention to the power of the other microphones of your strat in order to avoid a notable drop in volume on a circuit with microphones in parallel.

• Highly variable resistance on the production of these mics since 2015: the mics can vary in a full set from 5.3K to 5.65K, polarity always in S/N for the 3 mics.
• Mismatched microphone delivered with 2 mounting screws and two latex springs for height adjustment and glossy white pickup cover.
• Pickup removed from a complete set of three Fender Custom Shop CS 1969 pickups Fender reference 099-2114-001, pickup comes refurbished in a Fender® box.
