Hey guys and gals, just wondering if anyone knew what kind of pickups were in the monterey strat? I heard that the 69's were supposed to be but just wanted to make sure ....If so, are these what John Mayer and Kenny Wayne Shepherd have in their guitars?
Thanks everyone! :D

I believe KWS has his own pickups, there's no real good description of them.

And before JM had his own strat which is equipped with pickups known as Big Dippers, he may have been performing with 69's, or from what I've read before, a SRV strat with a different pickguard.

Probably not that helpful, but hopefully I'm on the right track.

Our own Alain can answer this the best because he has one. And I would say it is my favorite Strat out of them all.

Well Alain what is your opinion?
I didn't think that the pickups in the monterey were anything but the originals.... He has so many strats why keep this guitar and switch the pickups?

The CS 69s are as close as you are going to get unless you want to pay through the nose for a boutique ilk winder's interpretation and product.

From what I deduce, Mayer has a slightly weaker version of the CS 69s and Shepherd has a slightly weaker version of the Texas Specials.

No, because the magnet strength is different.
