For this price or any price, I have ZERO complaints. The proof is the hours I already spent with the guitar.

Dropped in this Wilkinson Single Coil Humbucker into my Strat and it woke it up big time. So much punch and sounds great for Heavy Metal guitar. Old pickup was 9kohm annd this is 15kohm. Others have said it is a real snug fit in the Pickguard which is true. Easy to wire in though once it's in.

Bought these as a set. Installation was a breeze. I installed them in my project strat style guitar in under an hour start to finish. I read on other reviews that it may be necessary to modify your pickguard slightly. This was not the case for mine as the pickups went in tightly, but, when installing at a slight angle, the tops of the pickup slip through the holes with no issue. Once I soldered them in and set the pickup height, I was surprised at how good these things sounded. Overall, this is a great pickup set for the money. They look great and sound better than I expected. They still have a distinctive Strat sound but no hum and a little bit darker middle tones. I am very pleased with the sound so far.

Bought a SX strat for £25 and wanted to change out the rubbish pickups.I've used these in the bridge position on a few guitars and they always deliver.Fitting 3 has transformed the guitar!It has no right to sound as good as it does given the cost!Also fitted a 4PDT switch to coil tap them all and mimic the classic strat sound.These pickups are an absolute bargain!

I find the tone a little sharp or tinnier, compared to its Dunlop counterpart but, for the price, how can you go wrong?

This is my first experience with rail style pickups. I’ve had great results with most of my previous Wilkinson pickups in the past, so these seemed like a reasonable gamble. I love my single coil guitars but the hum from the power lines has become unbearable. I’m not talking about RF noise which cavity shielding will take care of. I mean serious noise coming in magnetically through single coils (all my humbuckers are silent). Rather than trading in all my single coil guitars, I figured I’d give these a try. Not much money for a test. Well, I am very positively impressed! These things sound great! I was really afraid they’d just sound like humbuckers and then what’s the point since I have humbucker guitars. But no, they retain some of the thinner, cleaner, chiminess of single coils (I assume because the coils are so small). I’m running them as shipped with the mini coils in series because, well, as I said, I need to cancel hum. They are totally quiet, no hum, no buzz, nothing! The neck and middle are perfect. The bridge is very hot - had to lower that one quite a bit to balance outputs. Now I just wish Wilkinson made these in a few different “flavors” as there’s not much flexibility in putting all the same pickups in different guitars.

The quality of construction is good, the wax potting is well done, no squeals. It's a good looking pickup in my opinion. Mine read 14.86K so for a pickup labeled as 15K I say it's pretty much in range. The tone of it out of the box was pretty bad however, I'm aware it's all a matter of taste but the treble is super harsh and the low-end is mushy to the point where it lacks any semblance of definition. Now I usually don't go there, but after figuring out I was never going to be happy with it I decided I'd take a chance and swap the magnet with an Alnico 5 (same exact dimensions) from a dead El Cheapo hotrail I had laying around. It made a huge difference let me tell you. I went from absolutely hating this pickup to falling in love with it. Sweet highs and beautifully round lows. Not only a good compromise for humbucking capabilities on a S-style guitar but an amazing humbucker in its own right. Now I don't know if Wilkinson already makes this pickup in Alnico 5 but if they don't then they definitely should.

A set of these very fine pickups, on their own, can add some humbucker oomph to a Strat. The pickup will fit through a standard Start pickguard opening, but it make take a little finesse. One suggestion: Don't use the supplied mounting screws and springs. Instead, enlarge the pickup mounting holes with a 1/8" drill bit, and get some "proper" Strat pickup mounting screws (e.g., the Kaish 20-pack of #6-32 screws w/springs, chrome or black).Adding three push-pull volume & tone pots (for coil splitting), and a mini-toggle "7-sound" (a.k.a. Gilmore) switch can produce a Strat pickguard with 30 tonal options. I have done several of them.

Nice sound for my purpose. It sounds between a single coil and a humbucker. I have checked the ground over; it has some hum noise when the gain is set high. I would still use it as an alternative sound between the neck and the bridge humbucker.
