Two of these pickups are much hotter than the description states. It says they're 5.5k, 5.6k and 5.6k.I measured all mine and here's what I found:48mm neck: 8.05k ohms50mm middle: 5.24k ohms52mm bridge: 8.66k ohmsThose are strange reading for a Strat single coil.

Very nice tone. Super low price. No covers. My old ones fit. Magnet spacing is different on each pickup so check your covers before buying. Bought my second set.

They say if you don't like something change it. I temporarily swapped Fender Squire Ceramic pickups for these, Wow! These just sparkle.we went fom dull and virtually intolerable to something you just want to pickup and play...permanent swap TechnicalI have stock squire mini 500k pots, .033mFd orange cap, fender locking tuners, mim tremolo, bone nutBridge 9.2 middle 8.47 neck 8.96I was going to heat the wax and unwind the coil if I thought it was necessary to balance the coils. It's not necessary they sound great. I may buy another set and see if makes a perceptible difference. Clear plastic bobbins. 48/50/52 Brilliant progressive pole spacing that centers alnico magnet poles with the strings. No covers included. Standard Stock covers, that are all the same size, will not fit. 48/50/52 covers are available in a set and recommended otherwise your coils will bounce around and that's Bad.Hands down one of the best upgrades for my strat for the price. Anyone crying about short leads needs to get a good soldering iron and a lesson on how to use it.Happy

I have been looking for a lower output Alnico Stratocaster pickup for a Nile Rodgers tribute build I am working on. These fill the bill nicely. Leads are a little shorter than I would have liked. Bobbins are clear which is kinda cool, but wasted on my build as they will be under covers. Also, check the pole spacing as not all covers will fit!

I bought these to experiment with wiring single coil pickups in series, parallel and single coil, and to compare those tones to a humbucker in series, parallel and split. I bought 2 sets so that I can have 2 rwrp middle pickups to pair with the neck and bridge pickups and have them be hum cancelling and in phase. As single coils in a typical 3 pickup strat style configuration they sound AMAZING. They measured about 8-9 kohm resistance, which is much higher than the 5.5k as advertised. When I put them side by side like a typical humbucker and wired them in parallel they sounded like a nice humbucker like I was looking for. When wired in series they lose a lot of treble, especially in the neck position, but I actually like that. It's like turning the tone knob down and gives a nice tone for blues or jazz. I might even take the tone knob out of the guitar and instead use 2 three way mini switches wired for series, split and parallel. Great pickups and a great value. Would buy again.
