He said these 'tweed' or 'vintage' ones are the regular items but this specialist (Kent Armstrong) also custom builds them to any specifications, which obviously costs a bit more.
"Tell him the sound you're after and he'll produce pickups to do that specific job", was his comment.
He's worked on and played strats fitted with each type and the custom jobs he thought just that bit sweeter, albeit he felt the regular ones would be fine. He said they were on a par with CS54s or 57/62s but at a lesser cost, not carrying the Fender Custom Shop brand and obviously not so well known.

Just wondered if anyone here has come across or used these and if you think they're worth investigating further.
