OK
Very poor finish on the bridge pickup
Owen K. 01.06.2024
Sound is superb. The kit is mostly well put together, but despite the product pages everywhere showing it with knobs, none are supplied. You'll need 6.3mm shaft knobs and a switch cap. Soldering in the wires is bizarre. The labelled parts of the board are on the underside where you'd think the wires go, but the orientation of the entire switch console and it's recess for wiring means you need to solder them in reverse with little to no clearance between the plastic and the PCB. The neck pickup wire could do with being 5cm longer.

The real killer here is the finish on the bridge pickup, whatever it is, it's extremely fragile. The first came in the unopened box, and when taking it out I noticed the pickup looked like it had chickenpox, little spotches of the finish missing everywhere. I emailed Fishman who confirmed it shoudn't look like that. Thomann took over a month (A month!) to replace it, and the second is just as bad as the first.

Overall a well thought out kit, but that bridge finish is such a disappointment that I can't recommend this to anyone. And Thomann really need to step up their shipping and RMA times. Very poor performance.

Unbelievable Tele sound finally !
TheLobster 22.02.2021
So I think so far, this one Tele of mine which I love has had around 5 sets of different pickups in. Ive lived with each one for a year or so. The last set, a Chopper Bridge and SD SH55 neck humbucker lasted two years...sounded great, but as normal I found I was missing that real TELE sound. However...I like to have options...a bit more umph at times...and of course noise free if possible
I decided to give this set a go despite the expense.
wow....just WOW !... now I have the best of both worlds and no hum at all.
They dropped in to the guitar with no issues. Soldering was fiddly but doable. I had to swap the pickguard back from a humbucker one obviously.
Dont hesitate....just buy this. Now i cant put the guitar down....I just play and marvel at what it can do...clean crunch or full on distortion.

classic tele twang without hum
Boyan Hristov 16.01.2022
I put these in a cheap beater tele and loved the result. I loved the 2 voices, both very good. No hum. You have to use your own knobs as it comes without them, US thread, not EU, so depending where you are it might be a bit of a hassle. I had knobs from a pedal that fit and looked cool. I had it professionally installed. Greg Koch is a great player and if you like his playing, you will love these.

Superb (Fishman Fluence Greg Koch Gristle-Tone)
Mattie 09.02.2021
Had this pick up installed in my Fender Squier Tele and the tech who fitted it decided he wanted one to. Have recorded with this many times now without the annoying buzzing that normally comes with single coils and this is just way more precise and clear in every way.
