Sample Pickups for Testing

[FredA]

I was looking for replacement pickups for my Star Wars Strat junior, and Adam offered to send me these sample pickups to try!
It's a perfect fit as I needed a single coil and a humbucker!

I received these today and have done a first physical comparison between stock pups and these sample pups.
Note that on the photos below stock pups are always on the right and sample on the left.

Let's start by the humbuckers:

(Sample at the top of pic and std at bottom)







The sample pup feels a tad heavier, but not much. But the coils seems to be 'fuller' and have more turns than the standard pickup.

Also the pickup looks more like a proper humbucker with screws and slugs, and the white plastic looks nicer, slightly glossy instead of being flat.
