Tremendous	January 9, 2015
Reviewer: Robert from Southport, Merseyside England

Exceptional value for money, well built and tonally superb.
The package is very well balanced and, as someone else discovered, the bridge is clean and well, smooth and bell-like, not brittle. All the strat sounds are there with a bit of volume and tone tweaking. Any Squier, MIM will benefit from swapping the ceramics to these.
IMHO they give some far more expensive "boutique" pups a run for their money.

Sweet mother of pearl!!!	January 9, 2015
Reviewer: Richard Setford from Havant, Hampshire, United Kingdom

Well tickle my tone pots & call me Billy if these ain't the best pickups I've ever used

I fitted a set of these pups to my 2011 Mexican Strat I've been craving this tone for years and now I've found it.

The neck pup is full of luxurious cream but retains enough character to stay soulful and responsive. It's dreamy with the volume pot set at around 7 but wind it up to 10 & you're going to make the hairs on your neck wave white flags or surrender

The bridge pup is nowhere near as brittle as Fender's original offering but still contains all the detail & attack you'd ever need.

The neck pup is where it's at & they could get away with charging four times the amount they do for this pup alone. Set that volume pot at around 6 & you've got perfect detail for strumming, wind the pot up to 10 & t I can only describe it as tone delivered from the masters of the universe. Seriously, this pickup is stonking at both low volume, high volume, clean and dirty.

Bloody well done Axesrus!

Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Billingham, Cleveland United Kingdom

fitted these in my mex std strat and what a difference! they have all the tones you would expect from a quality single coil with plenty of character and punch. could easily hold their own against much more expensive brands

Absolutely satisfied !	January 9, 2015
Reviewer: walter barkhuysen-tacke from 's-heerenberg, gelderland Netherlands

These pickups are amazing value for the money. If you are looking for a warm, full strat sound you'd better stop looking. No need to just go for the big names, these guys really know axes and what they are doing, compliments!
Very responsive, and stable when overdrive is used. Not hars anywhere, and even the bridge pickup has more tone then i ever had. My fender strat never sounded better, CS texas specials eat your heart out ;-)
Glad i came across this team of tone pro's, very best wishes from a satisfied customer!
