Re: Fender Pure Vintage 59 & 65 pickups
I have a set of Pure Vintage 59's. I'll try too record a sound demo later, but in lieu of that, I'll describe them as a friendly set of pickups that get along well with almost anything you might want to play. Not as dull as Fat 50's, not as bright a thin as CS 69's, and still have the brisk, up front A5 attack that seems to be characteristic of Fender's AlNiCo single coils. Really rounded and agreeable with whatever you want to do with them. I have more than one Strat, so I'm never in the position of having to choose one set of pickups to use all the time, but if I were, I'd put the Pure Vintage '59's at the top of the list, for being down the middle, and yet still have some personality at the same time.
