Great HSS Set

Installed in a HSS superstrat and couldn't be happier. The humbucker sounds great split and positions 2 and 4 sound very strat like. I play all sorts of different music and this set handles it all with ease!

threw these in a sire s3. a huge Improvement over the stock ceramics. the humbucker sounds good split with the middle single, and sounds very good unsplit solo on a 250k pot. truly amazing pickups, at a very good price.

Bought a HSS Overwound set to replace some Aria Pro II pickups on a hybrid Tele. The difference was staggering. Much warmer, greater depth, and good cut through and clarity on the singles, even with a lot of gain, and playing chords. Compare favourably with original Gibson and Fender pickups, and much cheaper than the PRS Dragon and Radioshop pickups on my other guitars. Lots of help from Andrew. A word of warning. The conductors are very brittle, so take care when stripping and wrangling, as they snap easily. That said, my soldering is a dogs dinner, yet I managed to do it myself. If you’re looking for quality at an affordable price I can’t recommend any better than Tonerider!
