This set is what should come in the Fender MIM McCready Stratocaster. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e We kept the output right around 6.1-6.2k across all three pickups and carefully paired Alnico 2 and Alnico 4 magnets to create a balanced, articulate response that stays smooth under any gain level. No shrill top end, no ice pick highs — with a bridge pickup that's genuinely just as usable as the other two. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the set for people who want balance and clarity without the typical Stratocaster brightness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to expect:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Neck: warm, vocal, and clear without getting muddy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Middle: balanced and glassy with excellent clarity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Bridge: full, smooth, and usable without harshness \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded with the set:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 220pF treble bleed capacitor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Genuine .033uF paper-in-oil capacitor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Mounting screws\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Rubber tubing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuper easy to install.
