I do not for the life of me understand how the seller got it to read 5.8k. Even setting it in my fridge wasn't enough to drop it to 5.8k. Maybe a fault with that specific multimeter.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

5.8k is very low for a 6.5k pickup to read. Any chance that there was a break and the pickup had to be unwound at some point in the past?Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Neck read 6.3k and room temperature and middle read 6.6k, they are both supposed to read 6.5k.
The lowest I got the neck to go in my fridge was 5.91kYou will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

sounds like a great set of pups! antiquity II strat pups are what i want my strat to sound like. i have a set of surfers in one guitar and a set of jaguar pups (without claw or anything) in another, which are basically flat pole strat pups. both sound fantastic, like a great early 60s fender strat. meatier than the late 60's strat pups, though i do like those at times as well

What's the point of noiseless single coils of these things are so darn quiet? I got my gain cranked and I can't hear hardly any noise at all.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

i mostly agree. many of my guitars have single coils and i dont have an issue with noise 90% of the time. There are a few places that have bad wiring and big neon signs that do cause issues. but if youre a gigging guitarist, chances are you know to roll your volume down as soon as the song is over anyway so its not much of an issue. the rum boogie in memphis has one of the worst hum issues ive dealt with due to the big old stax sign behind the stage. it usually easier just to turn it off

I've never been one for long winded pickup reviews (at least not in the past 5 or so years) but I will say these are the best strat pickups I've played as far back as my memory goes.
Let me compare it like this. It's kinda like when Ben Burtt at first was disappointed that he didn't get a lot of compliments for high lightsaber and blaster noises on Star Wars, but then later realized it was because everyone just automatically assumed that's what blasters and laser swords actually sounded like. These pickups sound exactly like what all the Strats in my head sound like.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

Surfers are fantastic. Especially in a resonant ash or alder body. Some of the best Strat pickups I've ever used.Administrator of the SDUGF
