Amazon Customer: Bought these to 60’s era pickups for my old pre lawsuit Les Paul copy. They sound great better than i expected. They have made this guitar a real rock and roller! Worth the price. Easy install with my solder gun.

Mark: They have a nice tone, very bright. Output is low and they have a lot of noise. Did some tests with other "humbuckers" and the fault is in these pickups.

The Cerulean UtopianistThe Cerulean Utopianist: These are HMV’s But actually great ones. DC resistance is accurate to the description.
well made for the price.

SOUNDS:
They were mounted on a Hand made LP guitar. Wired 50’s with shielded wires and CTS 550k pots Throughout a VOX VT40+ they sound very loud and crispy. Very durty clear. When played gently, they are warm n milky. But it does not take much to turn them into punchy durty bastards. Eavier in the high ends.. not much definition in the low ends. But all n all.. wow. Perfect for durty clean and overdrive players. I wouldn’t use to record a clean part but ALL IN for any oldies, Hendrix, Led Zlepplin, AC/DC, Van Hallen, guns n roses type of music. They are fu...k....g great pickups !!!

CONS:
The only bad thing about these is the pole screws. Some of em are loose. For the moment they are olding in place. Hope they will stay put even with hard vibrations coming through.

Would definitely recommend

Robert Lucas: I am working on an old Series 10 Les Paul style guitar (from the late 80's I believe) for a friend. The pickups that were in it sounded like muddy garbage. The guitar is black with a cream colored trim so I thought the zebra cream/black humbuckers would look nice and compliment the look of the guitar. And they absolutely do! The only problem is that the pickups look a lot nicer and brighter, but I can't complain that the product looks too good!

I started with replacing all the wiring/knobs/switch, then put these pickups in and wired it all up. I was very impressed with the sound of these. VERY hot, which is awesome and easy to tame if needed. They sound really great and full clean, and big and loud distorted. And completely quiet when not playing. No hum, no noise.

I've been ordering a few different really inexpensive guitar parts lately, which is hit or miss, but these were a hit for sure. A big plus that they actually came with all the mounting screws, in addition to the pickup adjustment screws and springs. They were also packed well and neither the pickups nor mounts had any scratches or blemishes. I ordered a different set of cheap pickups recently that arrived...

JD_YS: These pickups are excellent. I've owned and have tried many brands , SD, Demarzio, Kinman , cheap pickups etc. and these pickups are comparable in tone to the best of the best. I got two , one with red wire and the other had a blue wire without any writing on the pickups to indicate Bridge or neck, but fortunately without even using a multimeter I was able to identify the pickups by checking the wire's length. The blue was shorter so it had to be the bridge and once installed It was confirmed based on the sound levels.

These were replacing some PAF style pickups that weren't properly wax potted, maybe intentionally. No squealing from these pups, only smooth musical tones. They were very well balanced, and neither extremely bright or dark. Forget about the price of less than 15 for two. I'm reviewing these based on quality and sound and they are the perfect pickups for me. I put them on a Mahogany strat type guitar and I can't be happier. I love how they're not harsh and how musical they are even though I think they're hot. Don't judge by the mutlimeter, because these pickups have can push an amp nicely. To get the sweet spot I adjusted the pickup heights to a little over...

Tree: I only used one of these as a replacement for the stock humbucker on my Squier Strat HSS, but I gotta say, it was a big improvement.
Definitely an upgrade if you're switching from a cheaper stock pickup to these.

They felt sturdy and I don't have any complaints about the provided screws (2 to mount the pickup to the ring and adjust it's height, 4 to mount the pickup ring to the guitar).
I popped the pickup ring off, since I was putting in a Strat that didn't use a ring, of course, and it didn't take long at all to install.

The sound was much brighter and had twice the volume of my old stock pickup.
Sounded a LOT nicer with some distortion than my old pickup did, as well.

I felt like taking a star off, not for the pickups, but rather for the packaging. Or lack of it, I suppose.
A ziplock baggie and tiny (torn open) ziplock baggie for the screws, wrapped in a piece of card board that I don't dare call a box, for fear of insulting my other boxes... but admittedly, it did hold up. No dents or anything, and the pickups were in good shape. I just had to fish the screws out of the magnets, but that was no big deal.
Not anything to fuss about too much,...
