    Thanks Kimball, you have used these in a build?

    Gav, are you kidding, you'd be a perfect candidate, lots of builds, you write a great write up and do cool vids, and a great forum contributor

    Yes Stan known John a while now I have his Strat pickups on a fender, also a custom set of humbuckers on a squire strat. And a custom set on my fender precision bass. He's a great guy very good bass player and luthier. I find his pickups have a lot of musicality to them. Let me know your thoughts Stan. Look forward to your demo.

    Can't wait to hear the demos lads. I've been looking for some new pickups to put in my STA-1M since it has now become my main axe
