Really appreciate the demo. When trying to upgrade gear like the pu you really can't find clean and usefull vids. Many use highly distrotioned and overmodulated sounds. Very clear and well recorded sound. Thanks!
Joey this is such a great channel man. Your growth is much faster than mine hahah. I need to review more and expand. People will tire of my mediocre explorative guitar tones and songs. I thoroughly enjoy the journey my friend. Meeting great friends along the way too like you. Extremely talented. Love your video editing. I use my phone and power director yet. Hahaha. Anyway. Just stopping back by to say hi.
Always great to see you here Robert! Thanks for your support and your compliments. And nah man, you do your thing :) keep playing what you love to do. Can't lose that way
Thanks Joey. A very beautiful sounding set. I was especially surprised by the middle pickup by itsalf, which I can say I have never used, as I find it often shrill and sterile. Not here.
This is the best pickups demo video I’ve ever seen, you tested each positive in every way you can think. I appreciate the video a lot man however I have question, do the pickups have a lot of hum?
Great demo! I've been very happy with the 57/62s for almost 10 years, but I've been somewhat underwhelmed with the bridge pickup in the set, mostly because I think that the AlNiCo 5 slugs are too bright in the Bridge position. I have wired the lower tone control also to the Bridge Pup, but I loose some character with the Middle pup ...I think I might give the Fat 60s a try. Thanks again for the Demo Joey!
Fantastic! Nothing like listening to how a Fender CS offering sounds and getting a free guitar lesson in the process👍 I was learning towards getting the CS 69’s loaded set. Now I’m not so sure?
Your playing makes the Alnico 2 sound great with this S-style pickup guitar combo. Still Straty but something else too. With rosewood neck it's a nice warm overall tone I wouldn't mind for myself. Not sure what "The Mrs" is though, unless it's a 'partscaster'.
@@joeytheguitarplayer great demo!! Did it have ceramic pickups at first? I'm planning to change pickups in my Traditional 60s MIJ Strat and yours sound great!!
I read that these were alnico 2 magnets. Made me think I might like an alnico 3 in the bridge position but I think I like alnico 5 in the middle and neck.
Hey thanks man. It is a Helix preset, but not one from the factory. My personal one. But if you're looking for a similar tone go with: Tweed/Fender amp; Clean Boost; Harmonic Tremolo; Nice Tape Delay
Fat 50s have more high end than Fat 60’s cuz of the Alnico 2 used on the 60’s. In my case I’m gonna buy Fat 60s because I like the sound of Humbuckers with Alnico 2 so I’d like to have a similar sound but with single coils.
Hello there, I own an American pro strat with V mod pickups but they seem to lack something.... I’m deciding if I should buy this ones or the fat 50,s , my strat is a rosewood board too, any suggestions?
In terms of delivering warmer, rounder, creamier and glassy tones, which set of Fender pickups would you use between these two: Fender Pure Vintage '59 or these Fender Custom Shop Fat 60's?
for me personally the Fat 60s felt warmer.. i actually swapped to PV59s that i happened to come across by accident.. they have a little more snap on the top end that i needed in my rig..
@@joeytheguitarplayer So, does that mean you prefer the Pure Vintage 59's than the CS Fat 60's? How's the noise comparison when it comes to 60 cycle hum between the two?
Thanks Jason. Sadly, no GR video planned just yet but: 1) I like the Tweed sim, set fairly clean; my dirt comes from pedals 2) Make generous use of clean boosts; pedalboard (it just adds that extra "something" the sim needs) 3) Plenty of spring reverb haha sometimes too much 4) Work the "air" control on the GR cab sim till it sounds as close to "in the room" as you can get Hope this helps a little bit Jason :)
@@doctorquantum6477 anladım aga demek istediğini ama bu manyetiklerin fiyatı texas dahil zuhal müzikte satışta var 2 ile 2.5 arasında fiyat skalası var.Aradaki farklar gerçekten az aşırı bi fark atmıyo 50 60 ve texas serisi.O da artık kişisel seçime kalıyo.
I prefer these over the Fat 50s that everyone seem to love. Perfect demo.
So glad to finally hear a good demo of these pickups!! Thank you for putting in the time on this video!
Thank you Bryan! Glad I could help :)

Thanks Pablo! Always great to see you here.
So this is how a good demo is made. No more stupid and non sense endless solos. Perfect balance between chords (strumming) and leads. Congrats!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed
The Neck + Middle combo in clean was simply beautiful, while the Bridge alone had an almost AM Radio vibe. Thanks for sharing all this effort.
Thanks! Yea I love that N+M position too
Meaty, bouncy and full-bodied. I have a 65 Strat which sounds close to this but I prefer the clarity of these new ones.
Superb playing. Superb video. This was very helpful in my decision making (looking to do big upgrades on my Squier Strat). Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Great demo and I really dig your playing
Just bought a loaded guard (second hand) with these in it for my MIM strat. MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE!!!! Just need some locking tuners now.

Thank you J! Yes, you're right, def a little extra character to the middle pup in this set.
InstaBlaster
Love these pick ups
Nice vibes at the end there.

Thanks! They are not noiseless pickups but they don't seem to hum any more than other standard single coils.

Thanks man! Yea Ive not played the 69s but Ive heard good things there too. I think going with any in the Fender CS pup range you cant go wrong
FWIW I was very underwhelmed with the CS 69’s. These not only sound hotter but articulate very well. I’d definitely go for these instead.
fender Man Approved!!!
Your playing makes the Alnico 2 sound great with this S-style pickup guitar combo. Still Straty but something else too. With rosewood neck it's a nice warm overall tone I wouldn't mind for myself. Not sure what "The Mrs" is though, unless it's a 'partscaster'.
Thanks Jimmy! Haha, she's an MIJ Midnight Strat that i reworked the wiring on and put the Fat 60s in.
@@joeytheguitarplayer why do you think it sounds so warm? Is this EQ? Amp? Effects? Pickups?
@@joeytheguitarplayer great demo!! Did it have ceramic pickups at first? I'm planning to change pickups in my Traditional 60s MIJ Strat and yours sound great!!
Thanks Daniel! Yes it did originally have ceramic pups. And, really they weren't too bad but... these are waaay nicer for sure.
excellent and thank you
I read that these were alnico 2 magnets. Made me think I might like an alnico 3 in the bridge position but I think I like alnico 5 in the middle and neck.
Thanks, this is an awesome test. Is it a factory preset that you use for the solo in the last part?
Hey thanks man. It is a Helix preset, but not one from the factory. My personal one.
But if you're looking for a similar tone go with: Tweed/Fender amp; Clean Boost; Harmonic Tremolo; Nice Tape Delay
Nice, but should demo with the mix as well, how it sits in a mix really matters!
Fat 50s or these is the question. I like high end chime and they both seem to have it
Fat 50s have more high end than Fat 60’s cuz of the Alnico 2 used on the 60’s. In my case I’m gonna buy Fat 60s because I like the sound of Humbuckers with Alnico 2 so I’d like to have a similar sound but with single coils.

how do you get that tone with guitar rig? could you do a video?

@@joeytheguitarplayer thanks for the info mate, are you using helix stomp?
Helix Floor, but in this setup the HX amp sims are off
hi, how do you set them up? in terms of heights?
Adjust until I like the sound. Prob slightly lower than standard but I can't say for sure, sorry. I never measure.
@@joeytheguitarplayer all right, these are really cool sounding PU, i love them in my CS 66, deep enough for SRV and sharp for RHCP ;))
50 ve 60 arasında kararsız kaldım sizce aradaki fark nedir ?
knk ben şahsen bu manyetiği daha çok beğendim.blackmore gilmour ve duman çalıyorum.manyetikin tonu duman için inanılmaz
ayrıca jimi hendrix içinde harika bir manyetik daha fazla video izlemek istiyosan anıl yazar a bakabilirsin onun stratında bu manyetıklerın olması lzm

@@gmhimself dediğin gibi kişisel zevk :)
Thanks. But single note picking hardly gives a good “rhythm” playing example.
Are these rwrp?
No noise in positions 2 and 4 😎
The middle one is
No one plays rhythm chords like that on a Strat, are you kidding??
Insert Albert Hammond Jr.
For real man
This set sounds a bit dead to me, sounds over compressed to my ears
no Comment...
Damn sounds like rick james.
what did you set the pickup height to?
I'm the worst at doing that by the rules. I set them to where I like them the best. Wherever that may be. Sorry I don't have measurements.
