The pickups in that kit are same ones in EX-5 where specs look good but I found they sounded a bit dull and low on output. They need to be raised up close to strings to get any decent sound out of them but way cheaper than buying EMG, SD, Bartolini, etc to fit the rather large cavities. Worth having a go to see what you think before spending money on upgrade PUP's. My Custom Bensons cost about AUD$240 a few years back and compared to USD exchange rate now they would be nearer to AUD$300 for the pair.
