As many other reviews have stated: this is truly good quality. This isn't cheap gear that just happens to sound good. No, it's truly quality at a great price.
With this set, your guitar becomes an amazing all-around guitar. This is the best humbucker I've ever played. It cuts through the mix and gives a wow feeling when you hit it. The humbucker and single coils are well-balanced. Don't worry about the 250k pots; this humbucker is clearly designed for it.
The single-coil pickups are everything you'd expect from good single-coil pickups. Glassy clean sounds and do exactly what you want with overdrive, fuzz, or distortion.
I live in the Netherlands, and the pickups were delivered just three days after purchase! Nicely packaged, and with the online wiring diagrams, I was able to replace everything myself without any problems.
This is my favourite HSS set, so far I've fitted 3 sets to clients guitars, one customer preferred them over his Fender original pickups. Great set of pickups, highly recommended.
Definitely overwound. I can really hear the difference in output over the vintage pickups I have in my tele. They drive the amp harder. Also much richer in tone than the stock pickups they replaced.
For ceramic pickups, they were ok BUT with the amp volume is 8 and guitar was 8 with the ceramic pickups, now with the tonerider Birmingham HSS , amp is still 8 , guitar is 3 and that is loud ‼️ The pickups are clear, sharp and execrating ‼️ Order on Wednesday, had pickups on Friday . I got all black
Good value !
