"After using the pickups I bought from you over six months ago I got to admit they are as good as any branded name ones. They are the best, bell like tones crystal clear but will drive when needs be....I have used about half a dozen other sets inc fender, rio grande, texas spc, and at the moment on one strat i have yours and on the other suhr pickups, and yours are as good if not the edge on others"
