Features
:
Single coil pickups. The features of these pickups should be familiar to everyone interested in pickups. The middle pickup is not reverse wound.
Instrument
:
These were installed on a Stratocaster parts guitar in all positions. I used them to replace a set of Fender SCNs (bleah)
Sound
:

These are vintage output pickups (not really loud) and I do use some pedals from time to time, but for the most part I play straight into the amp. A clean boost pedal is nice with these pickups.
The tone is classic; open, glassy, and generally very Stratty.
I play roots music, and these pickups fit the bill.
I use a blender pot, so these pickups are not so position sensitive.
Overall Rating
:
10
I would buy them again. In fact, I plan to. This is a good product for a good price, without the hype and claims for a secret recipe that will deliver mojo. I've been playing for 40 years, and while I'm not completely immune to hype, I've developed a pretty sensitive BS detector. These pickups are not BS.
These are reasonably priced enough to try. Try them.
