« Excellent value for money!!! »

Published on 03/31/11 at 17:05
To be honest, at first I was very excited about these pickups, they surely sound better than the original pickups on my Squier Telecaster Custom. However, with hindsight, I must admit that they aren't as good as I thought they were. They surely sound good, and if you don't have too much experience, they do their job, but with time you turn more demanding and they simply aren't enough anymore.
The clean and crunch sounds are good, they are great to play blues! The distortion isn't bad either, powerful and neat, but it lacks mids, for my taste. I feel it lacks something, the sound isn't "whole," and that's what drives me mad about these pickups and why I want to upgrade my Squier with better pickups (Seymour Duncan or similar). But don't get me wrong, they are not crappy, if you set them right, they sound fine, Hi-Gain-like without a doubt, but they sound fine. I think they would be perfect for someone who plays metal!
In terms of value for money, I don't think you can do any better than this brand! Everything is relative, at this price point you shouldn't be expecting any miracles, and I think these pickups do their job well!
In short, I recommend these pickups to people on a tight budget, but if you have the choice, go for something more high-end :)
