Review: Clear, brilliant tone with minimal hum - 6 years ago I bought as used Mexican Strat. The hum coming off those pickups was ridiculous regardless of gain. I got sick of it quickly and put in a competitor's set of noiseless pickups which I've enjoyed for several years. Two years ago I bought a gutted Epiphone Les Paul for 30 bucks, and put the Jazz/JB combo in it during the build and was floored at the tone quality. So much so that I swapped the Telecaster vintage set into my Tele. Floored once more... and it was dead silent. The hum was actually there, but you had to stack every overdrive I had and boost the front end of my Marshall to hear it. So that's the backstory leading up to the SSL-1s. I was on the fence because I did not want the crazy hum level to come back. I took the plunge on a set of SSL-1 neck, SSL-1 middle, SSL-5 bridge. I got them installed last night and they're simply amazing. Neck and middle are clear as a bell, in-between tones are brilliant. And most of all, the hum is totally minimal. It is indeed there, but it's night and day better than the stock Mexican pickups from years ago. Very, very tolerable and the tones are just brilliant.
Review: Wonderful pickup! - This pickup makes my Nashville Tele quack like a duck on the notch positions. Tele pickups are Fender 52 Tele. You can’t go wrong with this pickup in a telecaster or Stratocaster. Highly Recommend!
