A NOTE ABOUT SOUND CLIPS:
Corporate marketing hype has made it mostly necessary to include sound clips and resistance specifications. Both have very limited meaning and are, in many ways, lies. The best player can make the lousiest guitar loaded with the cheapest pickups played through the lamest amp sound downright amazing. For that reason I feel that clips are misleading. Clips let you hear almost everything except the pickup and primarily the amp in a controlled environment that’s not readily reproducible. Please take these thoughts into consideration.

Justin Malone –
I threw a set of these in my solid rosewood strat looking for more rumble. Holy crap! Not only are they more dynamic and full sounding, but they also still have that strat like quality in the 2 & 4 position, but with a p90 like warmth. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for bigger sound out of their strat.
Hector Garcia – Santa Fe, NM –
First, they are actually P90 like, and I was surprised. Second, they rock! Third, they are those things and are also really smooth Strat pickups. I wanted something a little less ‘shiny’ and a little more ballsy and these were exactly what I wanted. I’ll be ordering more Revel pickups.
