Key Features
The Fender Custom Shop Ancho Poblano Stratocaster Pickups are a high-output set designed to deliver bold, expressive tone with classic single-coil clarity. Each pickup is uniquely calibrated, with output increasing from neck to bridge, giving you a wide dynamic range and plenty of tonal heat. From smoky cleans to searing overdrive, they respond with the kind of punch and presence that brings every note to life.
Handcrafted with a blend of Alnico 3 and Alnico 5 magnets, vintage-style cloth wiring, and fibre bobbins, these pickups are built with the same attention to detail that made Fender a legend. The reverse-wound middle pickup eliminates hum in positions 2 and 4, while wax potting keeps unwanted feedback at bay. They’re the perfect upgrade if you're chasing a hotter Strat tone with authentic character.

The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RWRP) middle pickup reduces hum when used in positions 2 and 4, giving you that classic Strat sparkle without unwanted noise. Wax potting ensures each pickup resists feedback and environmental interference, so they're dependable in both studio and live settings.
The Fender Custom Shop Ancho Poblano Stratocaster Pickups deliver a unique blend of vintage character and modern output. Each pickup is specially calibrated, getting progressively hotter from neck to bridge. This careful voicing ensures rich, full-bodied tones at the neck and aggressive, punchy tones at the bridge—perfect for expressive lead lines and dynamic rhythm work.
Crafted in the USA using Fender’s secret Custom Shop recipe, these pickups feature hand-wound coils that maximise clarity and nuance. Alnico 3 magnets in the neck and middle provide warmth and detail, while the Alnico 5 bridge adds extra bite and definition. This combination creates a wide sonic palette full of depth and musicality.
Built with fibre bobbins, cloth-covered wire and aged white covers, these pickups retain the look and feel of vintage Fender gear while offering enhanced performance. Every detail, from staggered pole pieces to the high-quality installation hardware, reflects Fender’s commitment to craftsmanship and tone.
