Pros & Cons
Pros
They sound very good, they lack a bit of that stratocaster quack. I have to keep doing a double take when i play my strat that has these installed vs my others using fender branded pups. Works well great sound.
A nice classic chimey strat sound but focussed, warm and clean. Bridge has enough winding to tame the shrillness yet still sound like a strat. Very balanced tone. Glassy with plenty of chime and sparkle.
Each pickup has a black (ground) wire and the positive is either red, yellow or white. Hum hancelling reverse wound center as advertised. When installed upside down the pickups fit in the body recesses.
Cons
The guitar sounds good in the 2nd or 4th position but sounds cheap and lacking in the bridge only or neck only. Of the three only two worked.
Highlights
Quality
Two words to describe my sentiment great product
I rebuilt an inexpensive asian strat style guitar and wanted to improve its tonal quality
Use a multimeter to find the pickup with the highest resistance thats the bridge
Some folks think that you have to spend a lot of to get quality pups but i would suggest that you let your ears decide and not your wallet
Price
Nice difference in the sound and the price is excellent
Just make sure not to tell everyone because soon these will cost 190 per set like texas specials
Competitiveness
I bought these as a curiosity based on the low price for alnico 5 pickups

The one with yellow wire is neck blue is middle and white is bridge

If you play around with pickup heights and your own eq settings you will find some pretty good strat tone for less than 10 per pickup
