Guitar Fetish PUPS..opinions?
I was thinking about buying a set of the Boston Blues they have on their site instead of the Seymour Duncan quarter pounders for strats that have been on back order for three months now. If any of you have exp. with Guitar Fetish pups please let me know what you think. Im just stuck on which set to get: The vintage wound or the texas wound.

I'm using Strat "Texas" Alnico Stagger Pickup Set I03 on my '70s' Strat and have no complaints what so ever! True solid Strat sound!!
We're talkin' Jimi tone to Jimmy tone with all the Clap-tone in between.
Not trying to go on like a comercial but these beasties have all the punch, twang and quack you'll ever need and you can't beat the price for the quality.

Well put the boston blues set in my daughters american std last weekend Not very good at reviewing or describing things all i can say is I ordered myself a set for a strat project I have I like the vintage sound and these have it with a little more bite and sustain..The boyz and I are playing a benefit tomorrow and are recording it planning on using my daughters strat on a couple songs so I will post a clip

Bought a set that were listed as stock but when they got to me I got a notice the bridge is out of stock for at least 30 days *sigh*
I'll let you know how they sound once I get them installed.
