Fender standard MIM strat hss pickup specs?

[Christopher Caruana]

Anyone know the specs for the MIM hss standard strat pickups?

I have them in my mim strat and I absolutely love them. They are warm, and clear sounding, but still stratty and thy handle gain awsome without losing their stratty quality.


So......For the 2 single coils and the humbucker

Mags?
Output?

And does Seymour or anyone make any like them?

Thanks,
CC :friday:

Standard MIM Singles are slightly overwound coils, plastic bobbin forms, stud polepieces, dual underslung ceramic bar magnets.

Tex-Mex MIM Singles are similar but employ traditional rod magnet polepieces of equal length. These are positioned in the plastic bobbins so as to mimic the stagger pattern of vintage American Fender guitars.

The spec of Fender MIM humbuckers varies from type to type. Often, the baseplate is not of metal. I cannot honestly say whether this has any noticeable influence on the tone. I just habitually remove the buggers and install something that I consider to be better.

What's a dual underslug bar?

The slugs extend below the baseplate and they have 2 narrow bar magnets glued on the baseplate making contact with the slugs

Thanks. It's kind of weird because I never would have guessed these pickups were ceramic based because they are very warm and very open sounding. Very open miss and smooth top end. Not what I would expect from ceramics at all. I actually like the mim mid and neck single coil pickups on my mim strat better then the mid and neck single coils on my American deluxe strat

Almost had half a mind to pull the pick guard off of my mim strat and put it on my US deluxe strat. Not sure if they would sound the same tho because my us strat is swamp ash vs the alder on my mim strat
