FCS Josefina '69 '65 '60 Strat Pickups - Loaded Pickguard
Offered is a rare set of Fender Custom Shop master-wound Josefina Campos Stratocaster pickups, from select 2012–2014 Mike Eldred–era builds. Each pickup was individually hand-wound by Josefina Campos, protégé of Abigail Ybarra, using period-correct materials and meticulous winding techniques.
*All prices include shipping.
The set features a ’60 voiced bridge with Alnico 2 bevelled magnets, a ’65 middle pickup, and the infamously sweet FCS ’69 neck. Each carefully tuned to capture the character, balance, and dynamic response of its era. These sets were never mass-produced, making them highly collectible and increasingly rare.
Tonally, this Josefina set delivers truly expressive, vintage Strat voice: the ’60 brings warm, rounded lows and smooth mids, the ’65 offers clear, balanced mids with shimmering highs, and the ’69 sings with bright, chiming treble. Each responds beautifully to pick attack and volume changes, offering harmonically rich, touch-sensitive tones that modern pickups rarely replicate. Highly sought after by players and collectors alike, this master-wound set is a direct link to Eldred-era craftsmanship and authentic vintage Strat sound.
FCS nitrate celluloid pickguard, featuring authentic aging and the warm, subtle aging that only true vintage-style celluloid develops over time.
