Sound

Sonic evaluation: I use an original 59 Fender bassman and basically 3 guitars. A SX SST57 Stratocaster clone ( that is outstanding for a 99.00 piece) with Gold lace sensors in it, an Agile AS-820 (335 style) guitar with these pickups in it and a SX GG1 set neck Les Paul clone with these pickups in it also

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: I play the blues and jazz mostly but I am willing to play anything at any time. These pickups are tremndous for any style of music ( excluding metal or that genre)

Overall Rating

Comments: These are all I will use when it comes to humbuckers, period. I have been playing for more than 45 years. I own to many guitars to list here. Big name ones and my beloved Agile and SX guitars as well. I love evrything about these pickups thats why I use them in all my humbucker equipped guitars. Best deal in the world for under 100.00 a pair! They have real nice braded outer wire wrapping with cloth wire center. Installing them is a breeze and they are absoultely noiseless. I am very satisfied and I have stopped searching for anything else when it comes to humbuckers. Get your self a set and you will hear what I mean.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 10 Fantastic value
