Anyone know what pickups were stock in the 1985ish Fullerton 62 strat reissues? The ones with the 3 way switch?

I'd like to get that era loaded pickguard for a project I'm working on or just the specific pickups.

I just wanted to say that I can understand why it's these pickups you are interested in. I believe they are unique to those Fullerton 82-84 strats, though Fender probably used the leftover parts after the move to Corona in 1985. The earliest ones had red bobbins, and sometimes were in red-grey combination. There were also black bobbin sets which I believe began in 83. My 83-57 has a black bobbin set and they are the nicest I have ever experienced. There is another used on the forum who has an 82-57 and claims his guitar to be his favorite-sounding. I believe the 57 and 62 RI's used the same pickups though I could be wrong on that.

Best of luck in grabbing a set!

If you're looking for an authentic late 50's early 60's style set of Strat pups... check out ReedJames hand wound pickups.
I have a set in my '62 re-issue... they're Friggin' Awesome. He makes them to the original specs.

Those would be the 57/62 Vintage Reissue pickups. The pickups are the same for both the '57 and '62 reissues, no difference at all.

I have an '82 '57 Vintage Reissue Stratocaster and yes the bobbins bottoms are red, but the pickups are built the same as the black bottom bobbin ones they built shortly after that.

These pickups have great tone to them. I own 5 Strats and yep, that is the best tone Strat I have. I love em and would recommend them highly.

These pickups are still available from Fender as a set and are certainly worthy of putting into your build.
