Got a Fender Player II 70th Anniversary Strat. Wanted one of these for a bit. MIM, 2 point trem, Pure Vintage 59 pickups. Knew it had potential at the store. Got it home and it sounds wonderful. I bought this with the intention of intentionally swapping of the pups but god damn these 59s sound good. Thankfully I have these same in pickups in another Strat so I can still swap away and not miss anything. Nebula noir has some cool red and blue sparkling in it. GC didn’t have its actual bag and bar so they grabbed me a bar and threw in a surf green wood case. Had to do some minor action adjusting but otherwise I’m happy. Next string change may go to 10-46. But otherwise I’m happy.

I’d keep those pickups in there if it were mine. I haven’t come across a set of the Fender Pure Vintage pickups that I haven’t loved. They do vintage single coils pretty well.

Honestly if I didn’t have the 59s in another strat already, I’d keep them here. That said, I like the idea of the Pure Vintage 65s and am leaning towards those. At the same time, since I do like these pickups so much, I’m in no rush to change them and may wind up keeping them anyway.
