How do Kinman pickups stack up to traditional Strat P/ups and Lace Sensors?

I've used them in the past. The Kinmans are like 95% there in terms of equaling traditional Strat pickups (but without the hum) and mercilessly wipe the floor with Lace Sensors.

As always, this is merely IMO where YMMV.

I put the "Avn Blues" set and the K7 Wiring Harness in my American Deluxe and it was a good move. The Vintage Noiseless pickups they replaced sounded very one dimensional and compressed in comparison.

Comparing the Kinman's to traditional Strat pickups, I still prefer a nice set of 57/62's over the Kinman's, same thing really, they just sound more detailed and less compressed to my ears, it'll really come down to personal choice and whether the traditional hum is an issue for you. But as Martian points out, the Kinman's are really close considering they are a noiseless design.
