FenderDeluxe Drive Stratocaster Pickup Set White
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Deluxe Drive is Fender’s highest-output single-coil pickup set, built around an overwound SSS design for Stratocaster use. It is aimed at high-gain amp settings, while retaining the stated clean sparkle when the rig is set cleaner. The white set includes a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup, which cancels hum in positions two and four. For players moving between gain-heavy and clean settings, that combines a high-output design with hum-cancelling operation in those two positions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High-gain amp settings that call for Fender’s overwound, high-output single-coil pickup design.
- Clean settings where the set’s stated sparkling response is part of the desired sound.
- Stratocaster playing in positions two and four, where the middle pickup cancels hum.
