Box Contains 1 x Strat Pickups Review: Excellent pickups - Great pickups sound amazing Review: BEWARE OF FAKES - For quite a while I had been procrastinating over the purchase of Fender custom shop Fat 50's and I finally decided to decided to purchase them from desertcart as they had the best price. I was all excited when my parcel arrived and eagerly opend it up to examine my purchase. To say I was gutted when I set eyes on them is an understatement. I had researched these pickups for some time , I had looked at many pictures of them but when I saw what I had been sent I was devestated for what was inside the Fender packaging was clearly NOT Fat 50s. The ones I received had thin pvc covered wires in various colours including blue ! They were not the chunky traditional waxy cloth covered white and black of the bridge and neck pickups and the yellow and black of the middle ,also the build and construction was clearly inferior and no fender custom shop stickers underneath.. I contacted desertcart immediately with my concerns and for a short while I was extermely anxious about the situation but credit to them they arranged another shipment for me and I was able to send back the fakes. For good measure I made an package opening video just in case the same were to happen but thankfully the second set were legit. You don't normally expect this type of issue with items sold directly by desertcart but clearly they have an issue autheticating their stock. Somehow, fake/substitute items have been creeping into their stock. Now the good news I finally recieved the correct items and the difference in construction can clearly be seen so if you buy these know what you should be getting. As for the Fat 50s ....all the hype is justified for if you long for that quintessential sound that the Strat is famous for then these deliver in spades, their clarity and sweetness in my opinion just make them sound 'right'. Yes nowadays you can get all manner of pickup types including ceramic but to me they are not what I believe a strat should sound like you may as well get a different guitar. IMHO Fat 50s are wonderful. ## Features - FOR YOU: Original '57/'62 Strat PU-Set - BEST MATERIALS: Formvar-Coated Alnico5 – Staggered hand-bevelded pole pieces - YOUT TONE: Vintage Strat with glistening highs and warm lows - PLAY THE LEGEND: Fender - The worlds leading guitar manufacturer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000B1F9TU | | Back Material Type | Plastic | | Back material type | Plastic | | Best Sellers Rank | 19,202 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 1,254 in Electric Guitar Parts | | Body Material Type | Plastic | | Body material | Plastic | | Brand | Fender | | Brand Name | Fender | | Colour | 57/62 | | Connector Type | Stratocaster Pickup Connector | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,720 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Maple Wood | | Fretboard material type | Maple Wood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00717669510572 | | Guitar Bridge System | Tremolo | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | S-S-S | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | 3 Pickups | | Instrument | guitar | | Item Dimensions | 13 x 12 x 4 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Pickups for electric guitar | | Item Weight | 0.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Fender | | Manufacturer Part Number | 0992117000 | | Material Type | Alder Wood | | Model Name | Original '57/'62 Strat | | Model Number | 0992117000 | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Neck material type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Warranty | Legal warranty. | | Set Name | Set | | Size | Set | | Sound Profile | Balanced with Clear Highs and Dynamic Mids | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | UPC | 717669510572 | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Plastic - **Body material:** Plastic - **Brand:** Fender - **Colour:** 57/62 - **Fretboard material type:** Maple Wood - **Guitar bridge system:** Tremolo - **Guitar pick-up configuration:** S-S-S - **Hand orientation:** Right - **Neck material type:** Maple - **String material type:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![Original '57/'62 Strat Pickup Set - Aged White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A-+3cD-IL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why are they called 57/62 pickups if they are reverse engineered from a 63 strat?** A: These were developed probably 30 years ago and at the time we had two Vintage Reissue Strats, the '57 and the '62. These pickups were used in both so that was the name given to them and we have never changed it. **Q: Se envian a España en ese precio** A: Read the shipping limitations **Q: I ordered two sets. Great pups, but come with wrong large screws, for pickguards, not for mounting ?** A: The larger bolts should be for mounting the pickups. **Q: does the position of each pickup (neck/bridge) matter?** A: I don't know, I've never tried the pickups in opposite positions. I would think that the wiring would be more the concern. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent pickups *by S***T on 20 March 2026* Great pickups sound amazing ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEWARE OF FAKES *by M***K on 27 October 2022* For quite a while I had been procrastinating over the purchase of Fender custom shop Fat 50's and I finally decided to decided to purchase them from Amazon as they had the best price.

To my ear this gives a great ‘Blackie’ Clapton tone which is what I was after. Only downside is a lack of reverse wound middle pickup- but I have pick guard shield and shielded the cavity with copper tape so there is minimal hum in my set up anyway. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fender Original '57/'62 Strat Pickups - Fender 5-way Selector Switch - The Art Of Tone Gavitt Pushback Cloth Wire for Electric Guitar, 22awg Pre-tinned Stranded Copper Wire, 10 feet of Each Color, Black/White/Yellow --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48705845-original-57-62-strat-pickup-set-aged-white](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48705845-original-57-62-strat-pickup-set-aged-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
