Eric Johnson (Fender) Stratocaster® Pickups, Set of 3

I replaced my Fender vintage 59 pickups in my 50s original Stratocaster for these. Compared to the 59's its a day and night difference! the 59s are much brighter, even with the original 0.1 mfd capacitor in it. I made a new loaded pickguard as to preserve the original but this time with a full aluminium shield and a pre-wired harness with the Luxe 0.1 mfd 56-58 capacitor.I find the sound now much thicker and more sensitive to picking dynamics, neck pu is fuller and warmer too.I play Jazz music and I was looking for something fuller, warmer and more dynamic. Even though a Strat is not an instrument of choice for Jazz and I do prefer my telecaster for it, these are really dam good and I am very happy with it!All 5 positions are usable and for some blues and rock sounds amazing too!** 5 months later and my Strat with these pickups in have become my main axe. These pickups are amazing. I now play Jazz with a strat haha even my jazz friends with their archtops are impressed with the sound and dynamic of these pickups. Great for clean tones and slightly overdriven tones for blues.

Package was torn. Looks like they had been previously removed and repacked. Was this a returned item? In which case I would not expect to pay £185.00 for a ‘new’ item. I’ll see if they work.😤
