Suggest mini HBs under $100 /set

[BenPerkins]

I’m looking for a decent set of mini HBs, budget would be $100 for a set. Any recommendations? Thank you.

GFS's get a pretty good rap around here. I've liked the few I've tried. Stil have them.

And always keep an eye out in the Trading Post for used Duncan's.

Awesome, thank you

I just got a set of 3 Wilkinson single coil size humbuckers dirt cheap on Amazon. I haven't installed them yet though.

odd that the gfs minis have two rows of screws out the bottom, rather than just one

I'm going to order a pair of Wilkinson P90's for my Epiphone. They are *really* cheap, like 1/6th the price of a SD over here. So, if they won't fit, I haven't even lost alot of cash.

I've tried Wilkinsons in a budget guitar before, they seemed to perform well.

I've never tried their pickups but I've used plenty of their hardware and it's always of good quality.

Used Duncans (which are actually Firebird style, not LP Deluxe style "true" mini humbuckers).

the gfs dont seem to be true mini-humbuckers either with two rows of screws rather than one screw and one bar coil

It's odd that they have two conflicting pictures for the bottom of seemingly, the same pup.

that is weird, pics of different models id assume but who knows

 

[Artie]

Maybe a "stock" photo to show the Kwikplug.

which is a kinda cool idea actually, wish it wasnt as chunky

Yeah. Not sure why they did that. The connector on EMG's and Duncan's is slim and reliable.

I'd like to know who makes those. (The Duncan / EMG connector, I mean.) I have a custom project that needs a 5-pole version.

I have a Vintage v100 with Wilkinson mini humbuckers which are very nice sounding.
