I have a strat Levinson Blade 1993 R2 (ash body, rosewood fingerboard) on which I had already changed the pickups there a few years ago. It was better but still not that.
After reading many glowing reviews on micro Tornado MS, I met Marc Aimar at the show "Guitar the belfry." He made me try different strat pickups mounted on guitars and my choice was the "strat'50s" model. (By the way I played on his amps that are really amazing, it's more expensive than models "factory" but when you play it you know why!)
Finally after a long discussion about what I wanted, he asked me to rewire the guitar "old", turning the VSC (active electronics), armor plate, mount new knobs (250k including a no- load for tone), mounting a 50's set but with the micro bridge a bit 'wound'.
Results beyond my expectations: the sound of strat, the real one loves: bright but warm, dynamic but never aggressive! Sound "live", this, which works very well as a group (the other musicians did not return during the first rehearsal) without necessarily having to increase the volume of the amp. The neck and middle pickups sound exactly as expected on a strat and the bridge pickup is only really usable, perfect for me because not aggressive! The no-load knob is really a plus with these mics, it provides what you want, whatever the position of the selector, I do not regret active electronics useless with these pickups.
Short of that happiness for a month!
Pros: sound, very reasonable prices (all this work for not even the price of my old set of microphones), the hospitality and professionalism of grounds: it is a passionate craftsman, we can talk for hours about guitar with him, he knows a "ray"!
