Has anyone used these pickups before? I'm thinking of fitting some in my Ibanez archtop to get a brighter, jangly sound.

NVM, I just scored a brand new set of these off Ebay for £20. WIN.

Wazup dude?

He likes the price you paid.

Oh, I thought something was wrong for a minute. So, yeah this guy had them up for £24, I made him an offer of £20 and he took it. He said he bought them and didn't understand how to wire a 4-wire pickup up and wasn't technically minded. Seems like a good guy with 600+ positive feedback and no negatives. I'm going to put them in my Artcore for fucking Smiths sondz when I find out how to wire up a 4-wire pickup

Let us know what you think, once they are installed! I've been very curious about GFS pickups....

I was thinking of turning my MIM Tele in to an Esquire, and I need a decent pickup. I was thinking a GFS would keep the thing "budget".

Is this too late for me to wade in and say "I've got one?". Got one in the neck of my tele, and it's OK. I have no strong feelings about humbuckers (other than a general dislike), and I don't hear any real full-on jangle out of it, but it's OK. The overwound 60's GFS bridge pickup, though, that's another kettle of fish entirely: I love it, and is perfect for RoS's Esquire project.

Cool! I'll definitely get one when I finally get around to modding that guitar. It's a little low on my list of things to do.

Indeed. Still, I don't have anything to drop humbuckers into apart from my son's Squier Strat.

I have the older version of this in my tele. The older version had shorter rails, but other than that, they're probably the same.

The cool vintage sounds fantastic!

I've got a set of GFS Tele pickups in my parts Telecaster. I love the sound of the bridge pickup in there. It's pretty low output so I think it's the 50s one.

I have the '52 AV Fender pickups in my other MIM, and they are the best Tele pickups I've ever played. (IMO)

Output isn't important to me, just the sound...

Perhaps I'll try the 50's one.

Oh the bit about the output was me working out which ones I bought.
