Are Fender Vintage 57/62 Stratocaster Pickups good for Marvin sound?
I want to try them in my '89 Strat plus.
Or is there a better set?

The best after market for me were some Sliders Vintage 50s, I have two sets of those.
My favourite and most accurate Fender pickups for the early sound are on my '62 AVRI, the one used by Colin in The Rapiers.
Having said all of that, I have quite a few that sound as good, Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro ll, Amalfitano Vintage, Tone Rider Vintage, Fender Custom Shop 69s and even Fender Noiseless & Kinmans (The AVn set) that all sound great since I figured out that it's the amp set up where the secret lay.
