I want everyone to understand that objectively these pickups are not something special AT ALL.
Which means... they allow you to play your guitar...you can hear the strings and play songs... and they are functional..but, they look better than they sound. I would not replace any stock pickups with these...at all.. unless you were pulling out your own personal pickups and installing these before reselling a guitar..or fixing up a project guitar as a learning tool.At the end of the day you are getting what you are paying for and they serve their purpose and are not terrible at all in that regard.. do not think you have found a diamond in the rough though...with this in mind...they meet my personal expectations the same way that Dollar Store body wash or McDonalds dollar menu lobster would.
