Musiclily Pro ST-DPMA Alnico 5 Rail Blade Humbucker Single Coil Formaat Element 9,2K voor Strat stijl Elektrische Gitaar, Creme Body Chroom Rail

This is a great pickup! Used in a short scale Bronco-type bass. It is strong and clear. Using with 250k pots. Includes a great wiring diagram and the packaging is very nice. Well protected and includes 2 sets of screws. 2 are tapered to fit a pick guard that has countersunk holes and 2 for a pickguard that does not have countersunk holes.This pickup is so good that I thought I had my pre-amp pedal on but I didn't.

To be clear, what I mean by the title of this review is I feel like a lot of people get rails just because the form factor right, they're small and they're humbuckers and they fit in a lot of places where you can just widen a slot on a strat or on a telly and just throw these in and that's why a lot of people probably buy them. But to be very clear. Dual rails don't really sound like humbuckers. They sound like a super focused single coil like think of it like that. It sounds like a higher output. Single coil but and they don't have the noise of a single coil, but they don't really sound. If you're expecting a humbucker sound from dual rail pickups, I have three different sets of dual rail pickups and none of them sound like humbuckers to me. And that's fine. That's good because I like having that variation of different sounds on different guitars, but to be very clear. If you're getting these because you want a humbucker sound, I recommend a mini humbucker over a dual rail that's trying to do like a humbucker tone. Because really what a dual rail sounds like is it is a humbucker, but it doesn't sound like a humbucker really because the magnetic field is so focused. A dual rail generally sounds like like a really noiseless single coil jacked up to 11 and then run through a clean boost pedal

No disappointment, great value

Most important to know - I have not installed them in a guitar yet. I do a lot of guitar work and work with lots of pickup types and brands so the review is based on first impressions and visual inspection. The pickup is well built - aside from the cheaper, thinner rubber coated wiring, everything else looks quality. The wiring is not a surprise based on the cost - and not a big deal. They come nicely packaged with everything you need to mount the pickup in a pickguard. The edges are smooth and clean and the rails sit nicely in the casing. With cheaper pickups, many times, the rails sit wonky in the plastic, the pickup is covered in wax, or the edges are rough - I have encountered the issues individually and cumulatively in past budget pickups I have worked with - that is not the case with this pickup. Vey nicely made. As I stated, I have not installed the pickup, but I did test it with a multi-meter and it does give a signal. My reading didnt match the description reading exactly, but its very close and thats common - regardless - this is a tribute to a PAF style pickup. I expect that it will give a low-to medium output, darker sound based on the meter reading and its makeup so no concerns on if I will like it. Its a good pickup, especially for the price. I got another one through Vine and I will be purchasing a third to build out my next project. I recommend this for a noiseless, humbucker sound upgrade to your single-coil guitar.

I used this pickup in the neck position of my super-strat style guitar. There is no annoying noise, and the tone is punchy and clear. Especially worked well for clean tones. I would recommend.
