Owner of a Mexican Strat, the pickups did not satisfy me. They sounded too modern for my taste. Passionate old blues (Hubert Sumlin, Robert Cray ...) I was looking for more subtle microphones, clearer and with more character. First facing other products, I then discovered Tornado MS. At first, I got in touch with its founder, Mark, to ask his advice. It was very well able to meet this demand. In addition, he suggested me to try different mics. For such professionalism, I did not hesitate a second to order him a set of 50's single-coil pickups. Marc has installed itself, taking care to make all the changes and adjustments. It's custom. Once prepared my strat, I could try it again and it was another instrument. Exactly what I was looking for. Need to search on the internet of the new hardware, I now have what I need.
In conclusion, the pickups are excellent, the sound is clear, slamming, well defined, not garish, very organic, fingers as a pick sounds are breathtaking (completely absent from elsewhere, like parasites ).
The benefit is a very high quality (it should be a normal and not extraordinary fact) and all for a very reasonable price more challenging competition.
One regret though: do not be left with an amp made by Marc, but that's another story.
