    I don't know, I've seen some of that Artist stuff, it all pretty cheap, you may as well keep the pickups from the kit.

    Did you listen to the soundclips where they were independently reviewed & compared to the Seymour Duncans they were modelled on? Sounded as good and for a helluva lot less coin.

    For my Son's guitar I bought some Entwistle Darkstars to replace standard PBG Humbuckers not knowing anything about them and unable to find any sound clips which was a big leap of faith that thankfully paid off. From the sound clip these sounded better and not far behind the tone rider alnico 4's that were put in my EX-1, again after knowing very little about those but had the benefit of hearing various sound clips to help decide which ones I thought would suit best.

    Given my experience with Std PBG vs Entwistle Darkstars, definitely a significant improvement where the Artist ones sounded even better and would be prepared to spend $65 to $80 for a set that also comes with 4 wires.
