Very Muddy, horrible pickups, at first i thought they were okay but the more i played the more i hated them.

Overall Rating : 3
If you want clear notes, dont get these, if u wanna muddy sound get em. Save your money and get GFS pickups, equally cheap 10 times better.

Features :
mine is a set of Dragonfire Gold screamers Humbucker w/ ceramic magnets. 16.9K on bridge while the neck has 8.3K. This thing has the same spec w/ the Chrome covered version. Paid $29.95 and it's all worth it!!!

Instrument :
THe guitar is Ibanez Roadstar Japanese made 24 frets w/ custom Floyd rose shredder from the mid 1980s. I used to install a Dimarzio Fred in the bridge and a generic Humbucker in the neck and it sounds okay. I'm looking for more agressive sound so I opt to find a new set of Pickups and I accidentally found the dragonfire website. (www.guitarpartsonline.com). I was hesitant to purchase it at first but its a dirt cheap set of Humbucker so I eventually purchased it anyway. When it arrived I installed both of them in the neck and bridge position.

Sound : 10
Now here is where it shines! I was blown away by the sound of the pickups. The bridge has a nice growl w/ nice tight bass response w/ very good harmonics and sustain. The mids is well balanced and the neck PUs is mellow but w/ good character both in clean and lead tones. Use them both at the same time and you'll notice that the neck mellow volume, thickness and mids will definitely compliment the bridge humbucker in a very nice way. Unlike the standard humbucker set that badly needs a seperate volume for the neck and bridge so you can roll off the volume in your neck HB in order to get a nice sound when using both the HB in your guitar. These PUs will do fine in a 2 humbucker/ 1 tone/ 1 volume setup type of guitar. Overall this is one nice *** cheap professional sounding set of PUs that I've heard so far!

Overall Rating : 10
Its $29.95 plus $10 for shipping so I guess if its stolen I'll buy a set again and btw I'm buying a set of Dragonfire Dual blade humbucker set. It's based on a Dimarzio X2n. I've been playing 14 years now and others gears are more than a dozen of Analog pedals, coule of Wahs, Few MultiFXs, Tube amp and a SS amp. I love this PUs -- Period! Buy this and you'll not regret it!

Features :
passive humbuckers with 16.9 K Bridge output, 8.3K on the Neck with Ceramic Magnets.

they are in a set of two with chrome covers. just don't expect to take it off because its welded in.

comes with wiring instructions for easy installation.


Instrument :
i put these babies in my cheapo dean vendetta, replacing its stock pickups.

Ok, time to get into detail. these pickups sound amazing, hands down. the tone is amazing. the neck pickup how a very mellow tone. not muddy at all, but still mellow. then the bridge pickups which i think are my favorite. they are bright with a good kick to them. but when you have them both on, it sounds amazing. the sound is so balanced, its extremely pleasant to my ears. i really like playing with no effects now through a clean speaker. it sounds that good.

Overall Rating : 10
if these where stolen i would absolutely buy more. without a doubt. i love everything about these pups. they sound better then any pickup ive heard. they are just simply a great set of pickups. but heres the kicker....they only cost $30!

Features :
Pair of humbucking pickups with chrome covers, comparable to Seymour Duncan JB-4 bridge and Jazz neck pickups. 16.9 K Bridge output, 8.3K on the Neck - magnets are ceramic. Not sure where they were made - I doubt that they were made in the US, though.

Instrument :
I slapped these pickups into a Halo Invert-6, replacing the stock pickups. I want to sort of create my own tone, and initially I was going to go for the Duncan Jazz and JB with the chrome covers, but couldn't resist paying $30 for a pair of pickups as opposed to nearly $200. To my knowledge, very few people even KNOW about Dragonfire.

Sound : 10
I play industrial heavy metal mixed in with old school thrash. Clean or distorted, these pickups are very clear and articulate with a nice balanced tone. There may be better pickups out there, but these are good for just about any type of music and for $30, the value is UNBEATABLE.

Overall Rating : 10
I've only had them for a little while, but they're of very good quality. If they were stolen, I'd just buy new ones. I've played through mainly Seymour Duncans and while I'm not a convert, I wholeheartedly recommend these pickups to anyone.
