April 17, 2009
I purchased the humbucker kit...After reading the instructions and various articles on your website, I built an incredible sounding pickup that I slapped in a Fender Strat. It has amazing tonal quality and impressive range from lows to highs. I'd swear it sounds better than the pickups in my Schecter, Epi Les Paul, and Jackson RR3. I don't think I will ever buy an aftermarket pickup again.
