I've been looking for a long time for a replacement of stock pickups in my Fender Standard Stratocaster MiM. Stock pickups are alnico V magnet based with a lot of bass and not so much highs. Initially I wanted to buy EMG DG-20 but I didn't like idea of strat and 9V battery.
I wanted to buy Lace pickups for some time but I couldn't find them in my country. Thanks to my beloved Thomann I had opportunity to buy this set and I don't regret it!.
Pickups are great, looks like an actives, almost no hum and sounds exactly like 50's strat pickups should sound. A lot of highs, not boomy bottom, great articulation, easily noticeable differences between positions, no compression, and even high gains are fantastic! At last my strat sound like a real strat! First time in my life I want to play on position 3 :)
Thank you Thomann!
