The Fender Mexican made 2017 Stratocaster is a nice guitar and as a standard out of the box guitar is good. One easy way to upgrade the sound is by installing the Fender Custom Shop Fat 50's pickup set. I measured the ones on a custom shop 59 before purchase to be sure of string alignment. I purchased a set and fitted them in about half an hour, fortunately my Mex ST had an Oak type 5 way and full size pots so no more upgrade work needed there. I did change the pot knobs and switch knob to white to match the new pickup covers. I installed a new set of strings, the pickups were test adjusted and sound great, a nice full sound, the front one is very rounded and clear, the middle is a classic sound and the back nice and strong. I was after a Shadows style of sound and these pickups did not disappoint. They give a clear sound and the right sound if you are looking for pure vintage tone.Read full review

I replaced the standard pickups on my 2014 MIM Stratocaster, with these. Before I made the switch, I recorded some open chords with the old pickups, so I could compare the sound. The Fat 50s have a more open sound, they chime more pleasantly and also have an overall fuller sound. I would recommend these pickups to anyone with "Standard Strat" pickups. I am very satisfied.
