The "blowout" pickups aren't the same as the regular GFS line - they are overstock from far-east pickup manufacturers. You could be in for a super deal, or you could find yourself back at the gfs webstore ordering the real thing... :D In other words, I can't comment on those pickups in particular. I will say that the GFS line is unbelievably good for the money, though. Even if you end up paying $70-80 for a pair of GFS pickups (rather than half of that for a set of "nonames"), it's still a steal...

 

I have a Dream 90 in the bridge position on one of my strats, a set of Alnico Fatboys in my Tele, and a pair of mini humbuckers in my 12-string... shopping at GFS is great fun, as they are cheap enough to make you take chances and try stuff out.

I have the 'vintage split' fender stylee humbuckers, they are excellent. :thu:

oh, and to compare, I also have one of the cheapo pre-wired guards, from gfs...the humbuckers in that are ok, but you notice the difference.
