Fender Coastline HSS ’57 Stratocaster Pickups
Based on Fender’s Pure Vintage ’57 Stratocaster pickup set, the Fender Coastline ’57 Strat pickups capture the unmistakable glassy, bell-like single-coil tone found on late ‘50s Strat but turned up to 11 for even more functionality. Made using Alnico V magnets, Formvar-coated magnet wire, fibre bobbins and cloth wire, the Coastline ’57 ticks every box for all vintage tone purists. What sets these pickups apart is their RWRP middle position as well as their increased pickup wind count for slightly more output, perfect for staying clear and defined, even with high amounts of modern gain.
The Coastline bridge humbucker adds an extra layer of depth, power, warmth and articulation. It excels at modern high-gain tones but also perfectly captures the clarity and responsiveness found in vintage-voiced humbuckers.
