Fender’s Custom Shop Custom ’69 pickups
The “Summer of Love” doesn’t have to end — Fender’s Custom Shop Custom ’69 Strat pickups have the tone you'll fall in love with. Own the tone that defined an era. For a short period in the late ’60s, Fender used a height staggered Alnico 5s and a special grey bobbin which produced clear, transparent highs and thumping lows. It’s to this design that each pickup in the Custom ’69 prewired pickguard looks for inspiration.
