Interesting, i wonder if they sound as good as the real deal or they just focused on the aesthetic..

thats pretty cheap. Almost worth a shot.
I was always curious how the GFS ones I bought but then sold to Rhys worked out. I never heard them. But the GFS ones are about 90 USD per set of 3.

have not seen him on here in awhile.
You know GHS now makes pickguards with the Brian May switching options. IT would be a cool project to do to a strat.

Very cool!
More switches than you can shake a stick at.
Hmm. Worth remembering for the next time i get a dirt cheap Squier

exactly what I was thinking. Next time I see someone selling a squier for $50 then you got a project.

Ya' know, i'm really tempted to try a couple of these in the Lindert. The stock pups are a bit meh to say the least.

Cheers Dave. Upon reading more they are the same size as the original Tri-Sonics which are larger than standard single coils. This means altering the pickguard, something i wont do on the Lindert.

That's the second thumbs up I've ever seen. I can't find any information on those at all.

What do you want to know? I know bits and bobs, in fact, Chuck Linderts son commented on one of my videos of this the other year.

Why not make a dedicated pickguard just for the new PUPs and swap out? It let would let you keep the original in mint condition in case you ever want sell or display it
