Comments: I will never buy Fender pickups again thats for sure. I have to tell you people I was kinda on the edge about ordering pickups from folks I dont know. But man this worked out great for me. My pickups sound like a $10,000.00 guitar. I mean a world of difference can be heard even my wife could hear this warm glow in them. Now if your a guitar player please read this! if into your strings as much as I am you should be hearing your guitar like mine now sounds. Its not just a little step up its a big step up in sound. Its like ear plugs being pulled out of your ears. I have searced for that SRV sound for years. That twang sound he had and ive had Marshall and Fender Amps and Tube Screamer after Tube Screamer. Snet them all off to have the correct chips and tubes put in them and still couldnt hear that sound. And then I put these pickups in and I thought well they should sound pretty good. But when I hit the power switch and things warmed up it sounded like I had picked up one of Stevie Ray Vaughans guitars. Im sold nothing but Vintage Vibe for me now.
