I came into a sweeeet deal on some CS '69s and decided to give 'em a shot after much indecision and ascension into self-styled experthood on pickups (huge thans to many of you here!) I was OK with the stock pups,in my '95 AmStd, but found them to be a bit nasal and midrangey. I was prepared to not be sold on the '69s...but...I believe the hype. Very nice string separation, dynamic range across the spectrum, volume, tone and settings. Lots of thump (my biggest beef with the stocks was the lack of such)-better than I thought on the high end, handling of distortion and Stratitis. Proper adjustment does make a difference, and I had someone do the work--not my area of talent. (If you live in Central Florida, Perry at Express Music in Seminole-hurrah) He did raise the middle pup a bit higher, which helped on the midrange and the balance. Also found that I like the non RWRP setup. 1969 was a great year for music, a good pickup choice (Also the year my wife was born). What's not to like??

Yeah, the CS 69s are very popular. Congrats on picking the right pup for what you were looking for.
