Pickups for new project

[Muppet]

So, I just bought this shell pink Strat body. I want to do a very 50's-ish guitar.

So, I'm thinking of dropping in this:

It's made by TOG, which I think is part of Artec. Never heard of them, so I'm iffy about paying 90 bucks for this assembly. Thoughts??

I think the pearl will look great. I'm interested in checking out the alumitone pickups.

I've used the TOG lipsticks. Nice sounding pickups. Very low output so they are bright. But they sound good to my ears.

My American Strat is low output and bright because of the Fat 50's they come stock with now. I've had to bring down the treble side of the bridge pickup and bring up the bass side. I've gotten used to it.

When you get the body, can you post some actual pics of it? That's from RockAudio, right?

Looks ore like hot pink to me

I am lame and like the Fender vintage noiseless pickups.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

If the lipsticks are anything like the GFS ones I like em. Pretty close to the sound of the originals.

Artec is one of the biggest OEMs of pickups in Asia. In fact, they make GFS pickups to Jay Abend's specs. They also make their own line of pickups.

No, I was talking about the OP.
