These microphones were placed on a classic Stratocaster fiesta red series 50, for about 6 mùois.
The sounds are reminiscent of those microphones layers of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Sweet Home Alabama ..) or the hendrix little wing of the crystalline or ultra sounds dirty to hendrix improv "Villanova Junction" in Woodstock.

I have other Mexican Classic series and I plan to test other sets (Fat 50 ', 54 Custom and Seymour ssl1).
These microphones have a modest level of output, resistance 5.9 K for the three microphones (to compare Texas are around 6.4 K to 7 K depending on the position of the microphone), but this is precisely why it bite well.
