Fender Deluxe Drive Stratocaster pickups are supercharged with the highest output of all our single-coil pickups. The pickups" overwound design makes them ideal for high-gain amp settings, but they also sparkle brilliantly when clean. The middle pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity to cancel hum in positions two and four.
Polysol-coated magnet wire
Staggered pole pieces deliver smooth, balanced tone across every string
Alnico 3 magnets add more focus and enhanced dynamics

Title: Sound great.
Review: I upgraded a free strat with all new electronics and hardware. I I've never had quality strat pickups so I went with these after comparing sound and price. This fit in my budget and sound great. I replaced the pickup covers to fit my theme. It doesn't have the heavy strat quack I was hoping for but I still like them. No issues with quality.

Title: Great product
Review: This is the first time I’ve ever done pick up replacements. Installed on an Squier SSS strat. Package included wiring diagram and color coded wiring that made it very easy.Pick ups sound way better than my stock pick ups.

Title: Stratocaster pickups
Review: Fit perfectly in my 73 Fender Stratocaster. Clean performance for Rhythm sounds and they can bite when driven.Great price and quality. Just wish they were hotter 🎸

Title: Surprisingly good
Review: I've gone through several pickup combinations in my Player Stratocaster looking for the sound that works for me. Most have been too low-output and bright for my rig (which is designed around a Les Paul). I am a fan of the voicing associated with Alnico 3, and given the reasonable price, I figured these were worth a try.I wired these up with CTS 250k pots and .022 uF mylar film caps, one on each tone pot. I was shocked to find these Mexican-made pickups beat out custom shop, Lollar and DiMarzio rail pickups to my ears. Highly recommended if you want a bit more output, and a bit less spiky highs in your Strat

Title: I like these. But....
Review: I like these pups. Replaced Texas specials. High gain. Sound great except they tend to whistle. Height adjustment might fix. 5 stars 🌟

Title: They sound great
Review: I put them in my 1983 USA fender Stratocaster. To replace the not so good sounding lace sensor pickups. Sounds excellent now. Big improvement.

Reviewer: Fix it yourself and save.

Title: Great sound for the price
Review: I bought these for a 2006 HSS MIM I’m building. I put a SD JB4 humbucker in the bridge. The Tex Mex and Texas Specials couldn’t keep up. These balance great with a strong humbucker. These are as advertised, they’re hot. They have a nice chimney tone but not ice pick sounding. They clean up nicely as well when you back off the volume a bit. I can’t speak about the bridge pickup since I’m not using but I’m anxious to put it in another SSS build. I’ll be buying some more of these. They accomplished what I wanted in a shredocaster

Review: These pickups rock I got them in a 70s strat and i get an awsome srv tone an amazing rock n roll overdrive tone . Slam on a american sound with a ts9 tube screamer and they do it all . I've heard people say these are only good for high gain well they must not know how to play . I've got Texas specials, text mex trio pickups along with 1970s eng sa golds (I just love these I'll never part ways ) but these deluxe drive pickups hang with the best and that's facts . Dont do the stupid greasebucket mod it's stupid some quality 250k or even 300k pots with nice orange drops and done do yourself a favor and wire your bridge pickup to the tone pot it gives you way more options. great price big sound good dynamics also
