Mounted on a 2004 Mexican Start I play on a Peavey Classic 30 (see my profile)

APRS a week and a little getting used to, I would do without this choice hesitate ... my first impressions left me tank but that was only li change of rope (I recall that I hate the sound guitar with new strings, it takes 4 or 5 days to regain his balance ...)

I sound much more balanced with a little creuss mediums, clean bass and treble presents crystalline and sweet to the ear (not aggressive and loud as before ...)

Positions 2 and 4 are very musical and rich in harmonics, the sound is much more dynamic and nuances of the game are respected (notably in the crunch before I gently scratched my clear sound, I scratched stronger I boiled a crunch without shades depending on the attack ...) The volume button works much more efficiently (another good point for the crunch)

The clean sounds are very Hendrixien (see M-and-red hot)
the distorted sounds are much more powerful and precise than with the original pickups, I finally have a distortion on the precise position pickup. Neck pickup position has always been the same power but with a cot more "bold" and less sharp.

Therefore résumé if you have a Mexican Start that sounds good vacuum (we think and feel it vibrate in the abdomen, and the guitar seems in perfect harmony) that you are tired of the screaming and the bridge pickup lack of balance and precision Audible, do not hesitate, ca worth, I have my commands to US ca cost a total of 98 euros and for all ...

To prove how much I t seduced by this set of micro, I just ordered a Start 62 'American Vintage 62' reissue ...
