Anyone have any experience with GFS pickups?

[Sub1 Zero]

They look like they might be a good deal, provided they sound good. I'm still looking for a warmer, bigger sounding, and meaner bridge pup for the silo, and my options are open. Here's a link:

Haven't tried em, but I've heard mostly negatives.

GFS pickups are good upgrades for cheap imports, Squires, Epiphones, etc.
Not something I'd put in my Ball though.

For a reasonably priced and great sounding pickup, check with Bryan at BG-Pups.
He is a great guy and winds top shelf pickups.

HA!!! Dimarzio should use that for a slogan.

I can see the commercials for it now.

*que guy playing playing horribly with bad tone*
*que guy running at full speed headbutting guitar player*
*que guy playing guitar again with a noce protector, and awesome tone*

"Get a Dimarzio, or we'll headbutt you!"

Never heard of them, and seeing as I am a gear nerd would not use them, buy known PUPS, DiMars, Seymour Duncans, EMG's etc, again avoid cheap, you get what you pay for.

I've used one cheap pickup that was decent. The Golden Age buckers that stewmac sells. I paid 25 bucks for a hot rodded humbucker, and it actually sounded really good.
