I bought a Schecter C-1 Platinum for $100, problem was the previous owner took out the old pickups. I didn't want to spend much on a new pickup set, I could've bought a used set of quality pickups, but even that is around $80-90. I'm cheap , and pretty much broke so I just took a chance on these. I've been playing guitar for 14+ years, tried MANY pickups, by Dimarzio, Fluence, EMG, Seymour Duncan, etc. I'll be realistic, these Chinese pickups aren't as great as any of those name brands, but they're pretty damn good for $13. They're high output and have a good high gain tone, and sound pretty decent clean. I wired in a push/pull pot to get some single coil sounds out of them too, they're not too bad clean, i've heard better, but they get the job done..... They look decently made, the wires aren't super long but they were long enough for me. They got a nice clean look too. I mostly use amplifier sims like BIAS FX, Guitar Rig 5, and have yet to use them in a "real" amplifier, but through my set up they sound pretty good. As good as my Fluence pickups or Dimarzio's in my other guitars? No, but not too far. I mostly play hard rock, metal, and shred like Satriani, Vivaldi... They do a good job... You just have to remember, your amp setup is far more important than your pickups. So if you're looking for a massive tone upgrade with ANY pickup, you will be disappointed. Pickups will help you get closer to what you want, but they will not be the main source of your tone. Just thought i'd mention that to any noob out there looking to upgrade! Good buy! for $13 you can't really complain
