These Musiclily pickups are a quality option at a very fair price, if you're looking for medium-low output humbuckers in the vein of classic PAFs. The neck clocks in at 7.44 kohms, and the bridge at 8.35 kohms - perfect for classic rock, if a little light for hard rock and metal (though they'll still work, with the right pedals).The nickel pickups look excellent, and have a deeper color than bright chrome pickups, which I quite like. They're wax potted thoroughly and cleaned up nicely, so shouldn't be microphonic. They also include screws and springs, which is very helpful (and quite inconvenient when left out). The only negative I have is that I'm not a fan of the vintage cloth-style wires, which are stiff and not as reliably insulated. If you don't mind that, or prefer it for tradition's sake, this isn't a problem at all. Overall these are a nicely built set of classic output humbuckers at a very good price!

Great guitar pickups, these Alnico 5 are a real improvement over the original installed pickups. These have a crunchy sound that sounds great across the board. I found the installation to be quite easy, the measurements were just right and there is plenty of wiring. A much hotter sound than the originals.

I purchased these a few months back for a project guitar but ended up installing them in my Eart Thinline Tele instead. These give you the legitimate humbucker sound at a fraction of the cost of what you would pay for Seymour Duncans or similar name brand. Highly recommended.

I got these for an entry level Les Paul style guitar that I love, but have always found the sound to be just slightly muddier than I expected/wanted, even at the price point of the guitar. Swapping out the pickups was just bit tricker on that one than I expected, at this point I had only done it on Strat style guitars, which is pretty quick and easy. Anyways...I found these to still have that warm sound I like from humbuckers, but a nice little upgrade in terms of clarity and crispness. Is it a huge difference? No. Is it noticeable to me, and more satisfying...yes. And at this price point you aren't breaking the bank if you have the feeling you might want just a little better sound than what the ceramic pickups are giving you. I don't always find the alnico version to be the "better" version, I think there are times the ceramic pickups fit the sound better, but in this case, I definitely like the alnico better. It tones it down just a little, while adding clarity which makes the warmth of the tone feel a bit more inviting. A great upgrade for the money.

This is a great deal for a set of humbuckers. I have used Musiclilly products for many years, including pickups, and they never disappoint. The nickel finish is flawless and these fit perfect in guitars built for humbuckers. I like the sound of them, very pleasing for humbucker sound. These are two-wire pickups. It would be nicer if these were four-wire to give additional wiring options. But still, great pickups.
