5.0 out of 5 stars Improve sound quite a lot
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019
I have a squier as my practice guitar. The affinity has a thin body and doesn't weigh too much. However, this guitar doesn't show bright and dynamic sound, and doesn't have rich tone. I upgrade the circuitry using CTS pots and v-caps. Then the sound improves a little bit, which is still far below my expectation. Yesterday, after I received TEX MEX pickup set, I soldered them immediately. WOW, what a big difference! I am pretty sure that the sound even outperforms Squier CV60. A bargain but also great pickups.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you think you want these, you're probably right.
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016
Just like it says on the tin. Paired with a quality orange drop cap, Fender pots and switches, quality wire, and shielding- my old inexpensive strat clone impresses good guitarists that play it. These go from lots of quack to smooth and warm. According to my notes it took a few hours of adjusting poles to get everything where I wanted it. From my build notes (this was a few years ago):

-Flattened out the poles to get a more even sound- this is apparently called a "vintage stagger" which is great if you want a "vintage tone" which translates into "general uneven response and really hot G string because it was wound in olden times."

-I also set the pickups high as hell- probably too high, but the tone...the tone is sweeeeet! Gonna play with lowering the middle for more quacky tones on middle+bridge. If I like it lowered (or if not) I might remove the middle pup from the tone pot and see how that influences things- bypassing can let more stuff through, they say. I'm pretty sure that's the Jimmie Vaughan setup, which uses these pickups...so...must be good right?
