In my opinion, maybe Fender PV 65s are little bit (like 15%) more versatile (coming with their own saturation though), but these made my Strat come alive and sounding like a "real" Strat should.
Quality - top notch, packaging - perfect, sound - the epitome of a 50`s Strat. Had zero problems whatsoever.
Perfect for everything up to moderate OD/Distortion (buzz kicks in harder with heavier tones + !no RWRP! middle (this is expected, though, for 50s PV series), so all positions are...fuzzy idling, if you care.
I adore the sound, it is perfect. The output is moderate and if you want to do Hendrix, 65s or 57/62s are slightly better because of hotter output, but for the classic rock, blues, punk-rock I find these pickups are just perfect. More "civilized" than 65s or 57/62s, but you can also dig them really hard, so for those gritty, stone-in-the-face punk-rock tones I`d prefer 59s.
