Has anyone out there had any experience with these? I'm debating on getting the Fender Custom Shop '69s or the SSL 1's California 50's pickup set. I've read good reviews on both.

How do they compare?

I'm looking for a vintage set that gives me a warm, bell-like tone, but also shines with some overdrive or a little distortion (a yellowleadbetter meets pink floyd sort of thing...and doesn't give me ice pick treble or colors my tone a lot.

I know the SSL-1 have a little more output and was wondering if that also made them preferable to the '69s.

I've also heard that the SSL-1 makes a better bridge pickup than the '69 - thoughts?

Thanks for the input!
