I wanted to swap out a set of "big name" pickups that just didn't have the punch I was looking for. I read a whole lot of good things about Planet Tone, so I pulled the trigger. Boy am I glad I did!! From the customer service (Jose is a consumate professional!) to the pickups themselves, everything was easy to work with. I got a custom wired HSS pickguard with a Defiance HB and American Metal Singles. What a difference in time!!! Punchy and throaty when overdriven, and chimey well-defined clean tones. Definitely a step up from the previous "guy's name" pickups. These pickups brought this guitar from my #3 to my #1 for all my work. Great job Planet Tone!!!
