I gigged with these puppies last weekend. I like. I like a lot. The lower output and filtertron tones seem to make everything clearer, more defined. The only improvement I can think of ould be a little more woody tones, and a fraction, only a tidbit, more bass. Otherwise, pull out your visas and go to eBay people. These humbuckers will kill your mud tones!
Sounds like I'm a shareholder huh! I'm not...............maybe........

Started off with 490's which I despised, the went to Stew Mac Golden 50's which were pretty good, then to a 500T (meant to be a classic 57), then to these. I pretty much don't like full on humbucker tone unless it is very clear and succinct. Often H/B's are too muddy and only good when driven...I'd actually like to try some real Classic 57's, like I understand you have...

US Dollars the p/ups were $37 each and shipping was about $15...so in NZ about $130 landed. Good value for money....want to try their DeArmond rip offs now.HB wrote:Unique, If you don't mind me asking, how much did it end up costing you all up to buy the pickups including shipping? I've been looking at that GFS stuff for a while now...

Sounds like a damn good link. Can't fault those prices.
Those with Fenders and the like could have a few pickguards set up with different pups and swap to suit... hmmm.
