The single-coil pickups of the FENDER Pre-Wired Strat Pickguard '59 SSS are known for their rich, warm tone and the sweet nuance that evokes the golden era of the Fender Stratocaster. Each Pure Vintage pickup is built to precise specifications, from traditional coil construction to authentic cloth wiring, to deliver the unmistakable Fender sound and performance. A standout feature is the center pickup, which is reverse wound and reverse polarity. This effectively reduces the typical mains hum in switch positions 2 and 4 while also producing the iconic Stratocaster quack that defines those settings.
