I mentioned in another thread that some guys like Waldo and others really like these...very rare as a past limited run, but the place below has a stash left. I grabbed some to eventually put into a Wolf build.

Waldo's page shows 1955 A3 pickups in Alligator, and early Wolf. But 54 Fender Strats used A3, and 55's used A5. Maybe the pickups were late '54 pickups in a '55 body (i.e. Alligator)

^^^ Hmm.. I just need neck pickups. Hate to buy a set only to break it up for a Single in the neck position on one of my Wolfs. Do they sell these just in sets ? Or can you find these in individual sales ? Thanks for all the info everyone
Greatly appreciated

I was using the Fender Pure Vintage 65 set in my Strat for Alligator, early Wolf tones. Thought they did a great job. The 65's only come in sets too and are A5, but way cheaper than the 54 set.
Switched to a set of Bootstrap 54 Vintage Sparkles, they're A3 but not formvar. Really think these do a great job too. Bootstrap sells singles, can get a 54 VS neck for $27.99. Nothing but great things said about how their pups sound if you poke around the internet forums.
