  • Which pickup is this S6205/6/7?

    I just bought a Fender Stratocaster American Series from 2011 and opened it up and found the pickups which are on a plastic bobbin and labeled as S6205 (neck), S6206 (mid), S6207 (bridge), have plastic wiring and have the code 016750 stamped on the bobbin.

    I will anyways replace them as I didn't like how they sound, but was wondering, which pickups could this be?

    Before I bought the guitar I sent an e mail to Fender and they said it should be Fat 50's, but seems to have been changed in the meantime by whoever owned it.

    Hmm, I have no idea. But some pics might offer some clues. BTW, what does your user name mean?

      Means knowledge and field (potato, corn, etc). Basically it used to be a running joke on an agricultural show on TV in the 80s.

      In the meantime I googled the pickup and it seems more people were wondering the same thing as they were taking them out of American Strats, but no definite answer to which ones they are.

        They're pre-2012 American Standard Strat pickups.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.
