Good improvement over Stewmac kit pickups. Impressed by Thomann support
I put these into a Stewmac Tele kit. The original kit pickups where quite usable, but in particular the neck was quite dull.
The improvement in sound was in particular noticable on the neck pickup, which had a lot more clarity than the original ones. The bridge was also a bit clearer, but not that much of a difference to my ears.
An issue that came up during installation was that the screws somehow enlarged the holes in the baseplate holding the pickup and eventually became loose after some rounds of height adjustments. This was addressed to the Thomann support, who responded very quickly with useful advice (it appears that this is a weakness of the legacy pickup design).

An easy replacement pickup.
Very nice sound very Teleish without being to bright. As with all Telecaster's pickup height is important so some time spent adjusting the pickup heights. Easy to replace as they fit perfectly in the existing guitar.
