Has anyone ever compared pickups out of a custom shop guitar to the pure vintage reissues?
I spent gourds of cash on a set of Custom shop '65 Strat pickups back when the only way to get a set of '65's was to buy a used set someone had yanked form their 1965 Custom shop Fender.
Recently Fender reissues the 1965 Strat pickups as part of their "Pure Vintage " series. Street price is just around a c-note for the Pure Vintage , and considerably less than I spent on the ones I bought used from a Custom Shop 1965 Strat reissue..
I compared the DC resistance of my Custom Shop model '65 's to the specs on the Pure Vintage and they are identical, and they cosmetically look the same.
I would say they are identical, but does anyone have any insight or have any similar experience along these lines- perhaps even with a different model pickup that would confirm or deny this?

Hi,
before I bought my CS '64 Anniv. Srat I got a American Vintage '65 Strat and I can say that these pickups are really good. The '65 AV pickups have a great tone, great clarity and the typical grey bottom bell tone.
All new AV pickups are fantastic. I bought a set of '59 and they're just great!
Hope this helps a bit
