Comments: Bought these pickups because I wanted the sound of a '61. And, that's what I got. Doesn't get any better. Owen replied to many various e-mails and answered numerous questions I had. In the end, I ended up with exactly what I wanted. Clear as a Bell, Classic Strat tone. Great. And for the price, for handwound pickups? Great as well. I'm probably going to look into a set for my telecaster as well.
