I've got a 50s stratocaster and it plays really great. I feel it's the perfect guitar for me.
I know the Mexicans have improved a hell of a lot throughout the past years, so it's not (purely) a question of quality, but just for information about the guitar I own.

Question is:
The Alnico magnet pickups of a 50s stratocaster are different from the Mexican and American pickups, but are they of good quality? (>Mex , =Mex ...?)

I know choosing a guitar depends on your own choice and on what guitar appeals to you personally, but Id just like to now.

Thx

I’m on my 2nd 50’s Classic Strat. IMHO the stock pups in the 50’s Classic have a decent traditional strat sound but I feel they really need to be wax potted. Stock I found the pups to be really microphonic. I also had trouble with uncontrolablle feedback. I wax potted them and now they sound great. No more unwanted feedback or microphonics.
