Used set of squier CV pickups would be a good shout. There’s a 50s set on eBay right now actually |

They do sound class.
I thought they'd probably go for more than £40 though, because idiots. _________________

I'm still skeptical of that, but in any case they really aren't anything too special, and they're running through 500k pots on the CVs so not a very vintage scheme. They sound like Strats when you put them in Strats though, that's hard to fuck up... there's no reason to replace them if you buy a CV, but I wouldn't seek them out on their own for any reason except to save money. _________________

The range in the cv teles and strats completely mirror outputs, magnets, construction and look identical to toneriders. It is quite well documented. The Simon Neil strat having 3 x Alnico 3 and 3 x Alnico 5 magnets per pickup is a big giveaway. Also cvs have 250 alpha brand pots. P sure they’re alpha last time I checked anyway. |
