Installed these in an Epi Les Paul to replace a couple GFS pickups. These sound far better, very dynamic, not too much midrange. I wired both with series/parallel switches, parallel thins the tone just the right amount for cleaner playing without much volume loss. Neck measured 8.18ohms bridge 9.21ohms, just the right amount of output to clean up when needed but can still hit the front end of my amp hard. I'm very pleased.

The neck pickup was a little dark with the standard capacitor ad 500K Pot so I used a 15uf which brightened it up nicely. The bridge humbucker sounds great with the 500K Pot and 47uF cap. I put these in an HH strat. With a Fender super switch, so position:
#1 - Full bridge
#2 - Split bridge
#3 - Neck and bridge
#4 - Split neck
#5 - Full neck

I had thought twice because of the price, but ordered them because of other reviews giving them good ratings. A little mid-range heavy, but easily EQ'd out.

Installed these pickups in the 12 string position on my Epiphone G-1275 double neck. Was a very nice improvement as they sound much more open and have a lot more clarity and chime than the originals which sounded very muffled. Greatly improved the sound without breaking the bank. Other pickups I was looking at were at least double the price. But, I am very happy with the sound of these. Since I had multiple upgrades to do, saving over $100 in pickups alone was very helpful. Very good sounding pickups for the price.

i always have been fan of SD pick up's but since i started to play guitar many years ago, this time i decided to have a go on GA pick ups to see what is look like ,WOW stunning, amazing, the distortion is perfect,from the Blues that i like to the heavy metal that i love most it is awesome nice clear distortion ,the quality of these pick ups are fantastic

Trying to improve a cheap Peavey single pickup guitar. Already changed the volume & tone pots and tone cap. Makes the old p/u sound muffled and quiet. Big difference. I'd buy it again. Minor issue, the cream/black configuration is what most folks call "Reverse Zebra", because the black side has the screws, and goes nearest the bridge, unlike the rest of the industry.

I just these in a Epiphone double neck and they sound great. Regular Golden Age on the 12 string and over wounds on the 6 string.

I'm a London based professional guitarist for many years and I just put a set of Golden Age Humbuckers in a PRS guitar and I would just like to thank Stewmac for selling a great product...they sound great and just what I was looking for. Fat chord sound and cutting lead without being over 'distorted', where you can loose clarity....I shall be buying more of these in the future..Nigel Bennett.

I have used Golden Age humbuckers in a few guitars over the years and I think they are great. I wrote a review years ago stating that they are the best bang for the buck in replacement pickups – and I still feel that way. I’ve had a pair of first generation (2-wire + shield) Golden Age humbuckers in in a salvaged 90-something Ibanez AX320 of mine for quite some time. When I rebuilt this guitar, I wired it up using the Peavey T-60 wiring scheme. I always liked the way a Peavey T-60 split the pickups using the tone control sweep. One function of the T-60 that I did not add to this guitar was the phase switch. The only reason I didn’t add that function was because you needed at least one of your pickups to be 4-wire – but the Golden Age pickups were not 4-wire back then. I recently discovered that they are now 4-wire, so I bought a neck pickup and a push/pull pot to add that function. I was totally delighted with this guitar before. I am even more delighted with the guitar now. I gigged with it reasonably often before. I gig with it more often now. I still wish Stewmac would offer Golden Age humbuckers with chrome covers though. The only reason I give them only four of five stars is because they are still not available with chrome covers.
