Thoughts on G&L MFD pickups....

I'm looking at getting a G&L S-500 sometime after Christmas. What do you guys think of the stock MFD single coils?

they are ok, but not my favorite. they tend to be very punchy and have a little stronger output than most strat pup

G&L pickups are generally as good or better than any Fender pickups, and whether or not you change them, is a matter of taste. The Z-3 pickups are great, although not for everyone. I really love the sound of the soapbars in the G&L Asat Specials.
I'm not sure what's in the S-500, but I did like the sound of the pups in the George Fullerton model. G&L pickups may not be as good as the best Duncans, but they sure aren't trash.
