Flat5th « I still do not believe my ears! »
Published on 01/26/13 at 16:58I have a U.S. standard strat (2011) with a maple handle everything. I bought it new and I found the original pickups a little bland, without much character ... with a bridge pickup too loud in my VOX. In short, it sounded good but not enough for my ears demanding.
So I started looking for the perfect kit. In my wanderings on sandstone AF, I do not have to miss dozens of rave reviews on microphones MS Tornado: hand-wound with materials of the time, all made in France ... the what class.
After listening and re-listening to the samples of the kit "late 50's" available on the site, I have nothing bad to say ... it is sublimely beautiful. So I contacted Mark in a minute, and I ordered a kit (orange drop and a capacity to replace the original ceramic capacity). Kit received super fast and all was set up by my luthier few days later (which was also very surprised by the quality of the microphones).
Result: it rocks all! Honestly, if you think about upgrading your strat 'by offering new pickups, go for it without hesitation!
The sound is perfect, very balanced. Each microphone has its very character which offers a range of possibilities. My strat is transformed. Now I really feel to have a strat 'exception!
MS Tornado Pickups thank you!
