Bill & Beck I just loaded a set of your ‘Keystones’ into
my strat plugged it into my amps (Dr Z Maz 38 Snr & a modded Fender
Bassman) and wow. These are the best kept secret of the guitar world.
I’ve been playing 40 yrs and tried a whole plethora of pickups brands
and I cannot believe how good these are. I’m still laughing at the price
$73 and I’ve paid five times that for boutique pups and for me the ‘Keystones”
kill em. I’m your new fan,
Terry AUSTRALIA

Hi Becky,
The Keystones in my partscaster tele (with a Fender Highway
1 body) make every note count! There are no missing or muddy tones,even
when the neck pup is turned way down low on the tone knob for a mellow,
jazzy sound . The bottom strings still ring true and toneful, nice and
evenly balanced with the top strings. The bridge pup is bright and sparkly,
so I usually have to tone it down -- buts that sparkle there when I
need it. The two pups together are truly Tele heaven -- and all this
through a Fender G-DEC Junior, though you have to find the sweet spot
(it's there, lurking in those digital circuits!). Once the amp's sweet
spot is found, the guitar now has all the tones I need, from soft Jazz
through finger-style folk/country/bluegrass to blues. I play almost
everything finger-style. The Keystones pick up the lightest brush of
the string and still deliver an accurate note. Goodness knows how good
they are through a valve amp -- I will find out soon. I must try them
in my Strat...."

bill, becky, and all others at the factory: i just wanted
to say how much i love my new keystone telecaster pickups and how genuinely
happy i am with them. i just recently installed them in my new partscaster
and the guitar truly sounds amazing. it's about perfect i'd say. it's
exactly how a telecaster should sound! i will be sure to make great
recommendations about the pickups. thanks for making such a great product.
your products are so well appreciated among the guitar community so
keep up the fantastic work. also, thank you for your contribution to
electric guitar technology. i'm glad i purchased your product. a quick
question: are the tele keystones humbucking in any way? or are they
wound as traditional single coils? thanks for your time. -

Just a short note to let you know I received the Keystone
tele pickups yesterday. I installed them today on my partscaster (replaced
MIM pickups) and I love them, specially the neck pickup. The difference
between the Keystones and the MIMs is chalk and cheese. I have another
Fender tele which is a 1968 original (not a reissue) and I think your
pickups are better than the originals.
Thanks again.
Regards, Lindsay

Hiya Bruce, Bill Becky and all the
crew:
These pickups are a work of art
- believe me, I am pretty cynical when it comes to changing things on
guitars - my motto is "If you dont like it the way it is, then dont
buy it in the first place". However, the difference these pickups have
made to my Nashville Telecaster is astonishing. I only use a little
Blues Junior amp and up until last night I thought the reason I couldn't
get that low end twang out of it was a fault of the physics of a small
cabinet, a single 12" speaker etc - BUT Duane Eddy eat your heart out.
I simply dont have enought superlatives but all of you have done a great
job - and it wasn't just me - everyone in the band could hear the difference
and they all came out with the same description as me without being
prompted. Its all together a fuller, richer more musical experience
and for the Western Swing songs that neck pickup is sooooooooooo on
the money. So I will definately tell all my friends and you will certainly
be hearing from me again, probably towards the end of the month regarding
a vintage sounding set of pickups for my strat. Keep up the great work
Best Wishes
Chris

Thank you for making the Keystone
tele pickups. They are the best value in pickups I have ever seen (not
that your other sets aren't a good value!). I absolutely LOVE these
pickups. This set with a 4 way switch covers A LOT of ground, and the
price was just ridiculously great. I was messing around with my little
crappy recorder and whipped out a quick little version of Take 5 on
the neck pickup that I posted on the TDPRI!
Man, what a breath of fresh air your company is... KUDOS to you!
Take care,
John
