"Great Pickups!"
Verified Customer

Great product at for a great price.
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.
Features
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.

"No noise, plenty of twang and spank"
Verified Customer

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.
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).
Features
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...

"Tele twang with no hum!"
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. :)
