There is a player strat model that comes with fat 50s. Do you think theyre better all around than the normal player pick ups? Im more interested in cleaner tones im not a metal guy

[@cigilovic]

Hey there, I suggest you get that guitar :) These pickups are so good!

I don't think that was the best riff you could have used to showcase the clean tones...

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I agree, I don't like this video. Had to do it in a new place, new gear, new monitors and in a hurry. So sounds weird to my ears. :) Will revisit these pickups one day, cheers. :)

@@cigilovic Thanks for the reply and looking forward to the updated review if you ever do it!

[@yaboiflats6986]

Do you think these would be good for funk rythm playing? Or do they get muddier than other strat pick ups

[@yaboiflats6986]

Idk if this is a dumb question sorry lol

[@cigilovic]

No worries, these pickups can sound anything you like. I think these are one of the best, all-around Strat pickups. :)

Hey wait a sec... you are a real expert on this pickups because I found on your website a whole fantastic written review about this Fat 50's. First of all thanks for the video and for the review, they really helped me. I have a question. Are these pickups intended to be used exclusively with a vintage neck? I mean with smaller radius? I want to install them on a strat copy which has a flatter neck than the typical Strat. Will the still work? Thanks.

[@cigilovic]

Hey, thanks a lot man! Means a lot to me :) Not really an expert on these pickups, but these have been the pickups I spent the most time with (among other single coil guitars that I had tested & played...etc). I think they are one of the best overall Strat pickups. :) I believe you can use it on a guitar with a flatter neck. Even though there are different opinions on the internet weather flat or staggered pickups on particular radiuses, I think you can fine tune pickup heights as well as individual string action, I don't think you will have a problem with the individual pickup balances. Hope this helps, cheers.

@@cigilovic Thanks a lot for your valuable input. You certainly are an expert compared to me and many others like me. Your article was so well put together that I wanted to try and contact you. And here we are. I'll go for the pickups and see what happens, also they come pre-wired and it is very convenient for my project. All the best
