I absolutely love the pickups in these. Little mini humbuckers wound hot and microphonic. So much character!

Yes! The pickups in mine are really, really awesome. I'd buy aftermarket ones for a build any day of the week. Curtis Novak, if you're lurking, please do this. :)

Ah it looks like I failed in adding a photo, but I did a strat with a pair I found on eBay.

Here’s a link

I think they’re really similar to firebird pickups in a lot of ways

I remember a guy on Instagram ripping these exact pickups out of Crucianellis and putting them into Fender offsets. Tried to track him down on Instagram yesterday - no luck, but I know he is out there!

Out of interest, how is the Concert amp? There's a '62 on Reverb at the minute that I'm intrigued by.
Love it!
It's a big large, but great for clean loud surf guitar...
I was watching The Decline Of Western Civilization last night and I spotted the guitarist of X Billy Zoom using a fucking brown Concert!!! That about quadrupled my already-burning desire for one. That and a brown Pro are two amps I feel I MUST hear before I die...

I spotted one for sale over here on FB Marketplace the other day, it looked lovely but was the other end of the country :fp:
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?
