Comments: I will buy again
I tried lots of guitar and pickup, I like it
Better then fender(they got a real vintage ton)
VR-1(Single coils) definitely has the right bites and the sustain's to cut through most low frequency's while performing with low powered instruments but at the same time it brings out enough warmth to get a real smooth and a round figured sound shape which I truly enjoy delivering with my guitar during my performances...Most of the problems that I ran across in the passed was always having to search for that right balance between having enough punch and the right bites of brightness and the fatness to maintain the warmth while expressing the mid-high signals on my guitars...
"VINTAGE REFLECTION" series gives me that right balance and without any doubt I'm indeed extremely satisfied with the sound of the pick up system...There are many great pick up systems that has it's special features and with all due respect I compliment them all...
But I personally would have to say that the " VINTAGE REFLECTION" series from TESLA gives me that right balance that I have been searching for to create the right balance of my guitar sound to express my music the best way that I can....
