good pickups but should come with better installation instructions
Once installed the pickups do not disappoint but I only gave 3 stars because of the issues I had in installing the Custom 54s. The standard Fender mounting screws that are supplied with the pickups are far too big to fit into the tiny holes drilled in the bobbins. Apparently this is authentic but if you are used to buying replacement pickups that just drop straight in be advised that you these pickups require you to first enlarge the holes in the bobbin just to the point where you can force the screws in - then you literally have to use the screws to create their own thread in the bobbin. This is not as easy as it sounds and requires you to apply a LOT of downward pressure as you force the screw in. You need to be very careful not to damage the pickup as you do this. A quick search of the Internet reveals that this is a known issue with these pickups but I am disappointed that Fender does not include their own mounting Instructions.
