Anyone else considering the YJM Fury strat set?

[Gearjoneser]

I have to admit, I've been curious to know how much I'd like the new Yngwie Malmsteen signature set, based solely on the fact that Yngwie is a traditionalist who's always plugged into Marshalls and plays lead guitar.

Giving him all his due respect, having Evan Skopp and him working on dialing in a noiseless set that matches his technique and rig sounds pretty interesting.

Anyone install a set yet? Anyone planning on buying them? Maybe I'll move some pickups I'm not using and try out the Fury set in my main strat for awhile.

I was 10 seconds too late to raise a bid on a Strat which I intended to use this set with. Had even checked with Wymore to make sure they were in stock.

I still plan to grab a set for a future acquisition. The set appeals to me more than the Stacks for some reason

I'm really intrigued by them too. I figure they should balance perfectly, and since they're noiseless and everything... they must be awesome.

I still didn't get whether they are supposed to be different from the other company's YJM/HS3 or something new.

I'd like to know more too
I like HS-3 in yjm strat (tried one from the early 90's with HS-3 in the neck and bridge)

If somebody could post some specs about fury
output in Kohms- bridge and neck?
is it enamel #42 wire - for the bridge and neck?
tone -compared to HS-3 and SSL-1
does yjm still use just the 250K volume pot with them (all tone pots disconnected?)
some nice youtube or soundclick clips

I just got a set in but don't have them installed yet.

Much like the DiMarzio set the neck/middle model has staggered poles and the bridge version has an HS-3 esque magnet pattern. When I get them in a Strat I'll post a review...I have a YJM/YJM/HS-3 equipped strat to test them against for comparision; I myself am curious to see how they are similar/different from the DiMarzio pickups.

Wymore's prices on them are great if you can still get them.

Somebody is obviously hiding the fury specs.. The question is why? Are they too close to HS-3, HS-4 specs or what's the big secret about them..
I'm looking forward to your review Farkus

I don't think anyone is hiding the specs, but come to think of it, we may not have posted them anywhere. I thought they were on the winter NAMM literature we were handing out. You'll have to wait a couple weeks until I return to the office to confirm, but from the document I checked it should be around 25.6k for the bridge, and 25.4k for the neck. I can't get you the resonant peak until I return.
