From Ron Ellis -
Middle Pickup is Standard RWRP and will cancel hum in the 2nd and 4th position.
50/60S are our flagship Stratocaster set for good reason. They combines the tone found in the 50s and 60s to create a set that works in any guitar they're put in. After creating the 64S and 57S, Ron wanted to combine the harmonic quality found in both eras and found success with the blend of parts found in 50/60S.
50/60S have a tight punchy sound on the E, A and D strings and a beautiful compression and bloom on the G, B and E strings. They sound great in any Strat wood combination due to the calibrated string and pickup balance.
When you think of 50/60S think John Mayer, David Gilmore, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. The pickups cover a wide range of playing styles and applications.
