Overall Rating: If stolen I'd hunt the thief down & beat them senseless with the guitar. I've been playing for over 35 years & had a number of different guitars. A Strat, SG & 335 were my favorites. I like the versatility of these pups. And the articulation is the best I've ever heard. But I wish they weren't so trebly. When I switch to another guitar I have to turn the treble on the amp back up. But overall I can't complain. Better to have that high end & tone it down then to not have enough. You can even get some twang, which saves me reaching for my tele. These are the best pups for me.
Features: Humbucking pickups Didn't measure DC resistance
Sound Quality: Fairly warm pickups. My amp is a Fender Dual Showman & a homebuilt 412 cab. Also using a Digitech RP 80 & a MXR Dynacomp. Tone wise they're a bit on the trebly side. But that's what tone controls are for. I have them wired using individual series/off/parallel switches, one vol/one tone. I play a wide range of music. Jazz, classic rock, country. I get the sounds I need with this setup. I'd look elsewhere for metal.
Purchased From: Guitar Fetish Store on Ebay.

I've been a hobby player for 35 years & also play a custom tele with a Little '59 bridge & a GFS neck PU. Customer service from Guitarfetish is tops! That's why I decided to try this setup.
If you want to put this in an asian strat, be prepared to do a little trimming & hole relocating. But mine looks like a stock install. Take your time!
Features: GFS pre-wired fat strat pickguard
2 chrome humbuckers, 1 vol 1 tone & 3 way switch. Very clean wiring!
Sound Quality: Output is medium to high. Sound is a little muddy & trebly all at the same time. Backing the guitar volume to about 8 helps alot.
Neck PU is a flat out jazz monster, bridge has good cut, both PU's give a nice harmonic laden sound as long as you keep the guitar volume rolled off a bit. Good pick response.
Playing through a Dual Showman & a home built 2X12 cab with no name speakers. Also use a RP80 & Old Dyna Comp. I play mostly classic rock, blues & jazz.

Overall Rating: I'd replace if stolen. At $40 bucks I can afford that!
I've been playing 30 years & also own a custom made tele with a SD lil "59 bridge & a GFS neck PU.
Overall I can't complain; good dollar value. I wish it had a coil split & a little less high end.
Be prepared to do some trimming, hole drilling & filling if you install on an import guitar, but most people know that. Looks like a stock installation on my guitar.
Features: Chrome PAF style humbuckers, two 500k pots, 3 way switch & "strat" pickguard.
Sound Quality: Output; medium to high
Amp; Showman head, home built 2X12 cab, RP80 processor & MXR compressor.
Tone: a little muddy when guitar volume is max.
I play classic rock, blues & some jazz. Decent match for my style Neck pickup is a jazz monster & both PU's are good for rock & blues as long as you back the volume off to around 8. Then you have a nice crunch.
