The real deal!!!

Gabriel7743 01.11.2020

I bought those for a Jimi Hendrix project. After an extensive research about the different pickups construction methods and materials, the PV 65s seems to be the more accurate reproduction of what JM would be using on his Strats during the late 60s. Although Fender does a higher priced CS 69 set, they are more a recreation of the original than the real deal.
From the fiber bobbins to the enamel wire, going through the alnico magnets to the staggered pole pieces, everything is accurate like a snapshot of that era.
To be honest, they feel quite Custom Shop quality, only missing the sticker underneath, but not so expensive.
Tone wise they are quite bright, piano like glassy and percussive with vintage output.
Of course, as a right hand player I was using a lefty to get it as precise as possible including the “wrongly” slanted bridge pickup which gives a different bass response.
I remember the fist time a took it to band rehearsal the bassist reaction was - “Wow, that sounds funky!!!”- which was a compliment as we were manly a Funk band =)
Dispatch time and packaging were spot on, well done Thomann!!

Great Pick ups

GeorgeK26 31.03.2021

These are high quality and great sounding pickups. Indeed they are 'period-correct' meaning that all 3 pickups are the same. Having the same output is not a problem for me but one thing to consider is that none of the 3 pick ups is reverse wound to fit in the middle, meaning that you will get the famous 60 cycle hum a lot! Again not a problem for me but it would have been great to have the information available before hand.
For all fender products usually there is a lack of all useful information, so do your extensive research before hand.

Second only to the CS69s

Charles in Gdansk 16.09.2022

Of all the pickups I have tried in my Strats, these are some of the best. For me the best sounding pickups are the 60s style. These along with CS69 and Tonerider Classic blues are all great pickups for me. I try others but keep coming back to the same kinds.

Transformed my '80s MIJ Strat

Anonymous 25.08.2016

I've no way of comparing these pickups to a set of original 1965s, of course ? but what I can say is that they transformed my early '80s MIJ Fender Strat from something cheap and unloveable into a very useful machine indeed.

I now have a very wide range of sounds at my disposal and finally feel like I have a Strat worthy of the name: crisp and clear, and able to handle whatever any distortions I throw at it.

One minor quibble for Fender: I wish they'd be more detailed in their supplied schematic, as import Strats have a very different switch to that illustrated, and it's not clear whether there is any difference between each of the three pickups in the set. I turned to Google with both questions and got there in the end.
