Fender always does that on cheaper guitars. The neck pickup especially, is a humminbird.
Pickups are awesome for blues and rock.
Will surprisingly adapt to metal as well. I would miss these if they were taken away from me. Been paying for about 17 yrs and own 2 more strats with other brand pickups in them. Wanted something that would be warmer and more controllable than stock pickups. I wanted something to replace the cheesy Mexican strat pickups that came on the guitar.
