Fat '50s deliver enhanced bass response without the harsh mid-range.
These calibrated pickups feature hand beveled, staggered Alnico 5s and Formvar magnet wire.
The middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity for hum cancelling in positions 2 & 4.
You can hear those on Fender American Standard Stratocaster® guitars.
