Hi Nitro, I obviously didn't convey my meaning correctly and I'm sorry i seem to have wound you up a bit. My apologies. I just meant that they are built in an Asian factory and are priced at the budget end of the pickup scale. They are no different in that respect to other UK designed, Asian-built pickups like Toneriders or Irongear (and I use and like Irongear ones quite a lot and will be fitting some on my ES-3). But they are built down to a cost, so sometimes the frills like the labelling suffers in comparison to the Seymour Duncans/DiMarzios of this world. I was not trying to imply that the sound would be cheap or poor and that you had made a bad choice.

As they aren't sold in matched sets, you may find that the neck pickup has a louder output than the bridge, so you may find that keeping the neck pickup as low as it can go may help even out the volumes. Then again this may not be an issue.

No worries Simon, appreciate you getting back to me and your advice.
