Comments: Listen folks, these are the real deal. I would even say they sound better than vintage pickups. This Lady is a magician. Every other manufacturer has tried to copy the classic fender pickup and failed (after you hear these) This lady sits down and makes 300 sets of pure tonal heaven. I am in complete awe of Abby and cannot commend her enough on the skill and perfection she instills in these pickups. She just blew every pickup manufacturer off the planet. THIS IS WHAT A STRAT SHOULD SOUND LIKE. I WILL NEVER READ THE HYPE ABOUT REPLACEMENT PICKUPS EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Now, I have my biggest problem, where can I find another set. If these were stolen, I cannot express how gutted I would be, I would rather lose the guitar than the pickups. PERFECT
