Comments: i bought these purely on a whim. i knew the GFS stuff was good already, so i decided to give these a try. the tone is very clear, open, and again very well balanced. they clean up nicely if you're using a lot of overdrive or distortion. the neck pickup is f%@king unreal. i was suprised by how much i actually started using it, because how often do you use your tele's stock neck pickup? i would guess not that much. the bridge pickup sounds great too. also very smooth and open, never harsh. these are extremely good pickups, well worth the price. if they weren't, i wouldn't have written 3 reviews for these guys.
