I noticed these and many others branded GFS on ebay. The specifications look very good indeed as does the pricing.

Yeah, they're very nice pickups - my favorite that GFS makes.

Sound, output, opinions?

Probably the best description is they sound like DeArmond Dynasonics with a bit more Fender sparkle (less midrange than real Dynas). They're really nice.

Thanks DeadRanchHands!
TV Jones makes a similar product but this particular project of mine requires less financial investment so these may be perfect.
Are they at all feedback prone, any use with fuzz pedals to comment on?

I've never used these live, so I don't know about feedback. I've used with fuzz and they sound awesome.

I used Surf 90s in this song. At 2:50 there is fuzz.

Just ordered a set for my Eastwood Airline Map guitar.
It's a great guitar, stays in tune well with the bigsby but needs more chime.
I rigged up some Strat style pickups in it and have used it that way for a few years now but I think (hope) these will work out and look better.
Thanks again DeadRanchHands!

Good ol' search engine. I'm putting a set in my Modelo Uno and I'm surprised GFS doesn't link to this, fuzz and all. That sounded great!

Now I just have to finish the mental coin flip on the color. I think I'll go black in the back and white for the neck; seems to work for Teles over the years & if I use a white one Stratdancer won't be busting my chops as badly.
Thanks for sharing your song.

OOPS! Guess I didn't realize I was posting in someone's previous For Sale thing. Sorry - should've just linked to it from the gear section.
