Published on 11/28/13 at 06:04I use these pickups recently. I have installed a Fender Highway one TARS instead of Tex Mex pickups. I also have a G & L tribute S500 sounding thunder to compare.
Installs:
For starters, the kit is very easy to install. For my part, I'm a little annoyed because I put microphones on the old aluminum plate I had. Otherwise everything is easy, just plug are small pin very well finished and let's go is screwed back.
Sound:
What I like about these pickups is that they are extremely accurate, all the nuances of the game out very well.
They are also very versatile with atypical knobs that allow various combinations of sounds. We quickly find what slamming Gilmour on some tracks.
Distortion is in mortal means well feature microphones and especially NO BUZZ or hum! It's magic for a strat!
The knobs are nice enough fiddling, you may even find his electro acoustic removing all medium and boustant treble / bass. The races of those is very accurate and scalable.
The criticism that I have to do the microphones is that we lose this spirit fortification, a little heat but this is offset by the sound quality, power and silence microphones are lost. It is a matter of taste and above all they are much more versatile than vintage pickups. Again, it all depends on what you seek.
My strat is totally changed, I'm super satisfied!
In summary:
+ Modern sounds
+ The gilmour
+ No unwanted noise
+ Versatility due to knobs
+ Huge output level
+ Precision
+ Easy installation
- Lack heat vintage microphones
- Very precise Pickups must play clean (the modern game)
