    A versatile set for a range of playing styles and genres, with balanced clarity and punch.

    This set has roots in the golden year of 63' where many believe the art of the Stratocaster to have been perfected. As perfection never rests, we have taken this set further by winding the neck pickup a little lower, and the bridge pickup a little hotter for the ultimate traditional pickup set.

    GRADUATED OUTPUT

    The FIVE SIXTIES 'Graduated Output' set gets hotter as you move back through the switch positions for a truly versatile set, capable of beautiful chimey cleans in the neck position, into warmer lead tones and crunch from the bridge position.

    ALNICO V MAGNETS

    A super versatile magnet and the traditional choice for true vintage inspired pickups and most high end pickups still built today. Alnico V has a strong output rating, with an emphasis on the highs and lows, making them an excellent choice for cleans & crunch.

    Suitable for a wide range of genres.
