Hi froot

Good value budget pickups on a par with many others.

If you can afford better, buy better. If not, they'll do you absolutely fine.

Cheers - C

Hi,

Patrick McDonald here. Just thought I would chime in. Thanks for the interest in my pickups. The reviews found at harmony central sum up the response that I have had from all of my customers.

See reviews here:
(http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Guitar+Pickup/product/Patrick+McDonald+Handwound+Pickups/Alnico+V+Strat/10/1)

My pickups are priced better than some of the more famous makers, but don't confuse price with quality. I use the highest quality materials that are available, and wind each set myself- no outsourcing or mass production. In my opinion, a handwound strat/tele pickup from any of us custom winders out there will always beat a mass produced pickup in terms of dynamics, character, clarity and tone.

I'll have several new strat and tele models added to my site within the next month or two.

Whoa, very cool! We've had a few "voices from the source" on the Forum recently - I like it!

In a spirit of sharing ideas (not of argument) would you care to say why?

Mr McDonald has a couple of tweeds on the eBay store linked to his site... standard international shipping rates seem to apply (i.e. $14 from the U.S. all the way to Australia; perhaps by some freakish circumstance it's more to the U.K. but I doubt it)
