SSS pickup configuration
The set is a three-single-coil Stratocaster trio.

Independent shopping perspective
The Pure Vintage ’73 Stratocaster set is an aged-white SSS trio aimed at Fender’s early-1970s Stratocaster sound. It emphasizes clarity and transparency, with a reverse-wound middle pickup included to reduce 60-cycle hum. Fender connects this tonal direction with rock, funk, fusion, and prog players, while vintage bobbins and cloth wiring retain a period-based construction approach. For a Stratocaster pickup project, it offers a defined ’73-era voice rather than a broad, all-purpose reinterpretation of the platform.
