Pretty mild output-wise. The bridge is typically trebly like most Strats but it isn't harsh and has respectable lows. The middle and neck positions are where these shine IMO, especially the neck and neck/middle combo(position 4). The sound is very full and clear, it really does sound "bell like" when playing up the neck with the the neck pickup. The bottom end is more pronounced than the stock pups, but very tight. The in between sounds at positions 2 and 4 are just about perfect to my ears. The set is not hum cancelling in those positions but you gotta pay to play sometimes.
These are more to the "vintage" end of the spectrum tone wise and definitely not a "hot" set of pickups.
Overall Rating
:
10
I was looking for a set that would give me that 60's cleanish Strat vibe, and these really nail that sound. I wasn't going to drop $120-200 set of pups into a $300 MIM Strat and I love what I got for my 60 bucks.
