Hi all!

I installed Fat 50s to my american series stratocaster. Are the original american series pickups same as in MIM classic series '50? If they are there's no point installing them in my MIM strat.

Thanks

Welcome.

I never outright compared the two sets in question but based on experience, I would venture to guess that although similar, the American set is slightly more powerful than the MIM set. Regardless, I don't think it would be worth your time and effort to put the American set in your MIM as there would be no radical difference(s).

As always, this is merely IMO where YMMV.

Well that's good enough for me. Think i'll buy a decent set for the MIM cause i really like the guitar, V neck and everything. Let the americans dust in my closet. Thanks for your answer.
