zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: These pickups sound great! They get rid of the hum (make sure you solder the black wires to the ground lead and attach the loop end to the bridge). These things scream just like any humbuckers. What a difference...no more buzz, just great killer vintage tone. Feature: All screws and accessories were included. I think more detailed directions might be better for inexperienced do-it-yourselfers. Ease of Use: It's very easy to get awesome tones from these pickups. Quality: These pickups are very well made. Workmanship is very good. Value: For this price, these pickups are a steal. Manufacturer Support: I put a 5 as a neutral response because I had no reason to contact Fender regarding these pickups. The Wow Factor: These are pickups, so I don't think there's much sex appeal. Overall: Great product at for a great price.

Overall: I have had 2 American Series Telecasters and in the second one I installed these pickups. Just as the title said it kept that classic tele twang ,but got rid of all noise. If that's what you're looking for then just pick these up. :)

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The tone of these comes pretty close to vintage/stock. If installed properly, noise is very minimal. A huge improvement over any stock pickups in MIM or American Teles, including the deluxe models which come with SCN pickups (if you want your guitar to sound like a Fender, I'd stay away from these; they came stock in my Strats and I didn't care for the tone at all--more modern than vintage). Feature: Not much to say here; you get the set. Ease of Use: With basic soldering skills, installation is a breeze. Quality: Same look and slightly higher finish over stock. Value: For a little over a hundred bucks for the set, you can't go wrong. Manufacturer Support: Never had an issue. The Wow Factor: Sex appeal? These are pickups...they look good, but come on... Overall: Considering the price and over-all quality I can't imagine anyone being dissatisfied. I'm picky as hell when it comes to my all my gear, and I'd say this set is a winner.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
