FLEOR Electric Guitar Pickup Double Coil Humbucker Pickups 50mm Ceramic Neck Pickup-Black

These pickups get 5 stars primarily for bang for the buck. However, they are certainly useable pickups. Please note that tone is subjective and others might have a different opinion about the sound.The pickups came wrapped in foil inside a plastic bag which included separate bags for the screws and springs. I cut the springs to make installation easier.The wiring is four conductor. Back is hot and goes to the pickup selector. The green wire and bare shielding are wrapped together, as are the red and white wires. In this configuration, the pickup is in dual-coil mode. I soldered the red/white wires to a switch which connected to ground. With the switch engaged, the red/white wires were connected to ground and the pickup operated in single-coil mode.I checked resistance and both pickups were as advertised.I installed the pickups in a Strat-style partscaster set up for two humbucking pickups. With my amp on the clean channel, the pickups sounded decent but not necessarily outstanding. With both pickups engaged, they produced a clean, bright sound.In single-coil code, the pickups sounded thinner with more treble. While single-coil mode provides another tonal option, it's not a substitute for a single-coil pickup.On the high-gain channel, the bridge pickup sounded especially good. The distortion was not harsh. It sounded good in single-coil mode.The neck pickup is OK.These pickups are a great deal if you are assembling a guitar out of parts and want something to use until you can afford better pickups. I'm an amateur player and the sound certainly is good enough for me.

Used in a Jackson JS series Dinky. The old pickup (Jackson branded) was screetchy because the wax potting was old, I guess. I’d bought one of these Fleor pickups before with good results. Figured I’d get another. Drop-in fit. Soldered up fine. Tips already looked to have a little tinning on them. Had to find a wiring diagram online, but that was easy enough. Had to buy this China made pickup because of budget, but it certainly sounds better than the original and is as good or better than JS series stock pickups (which aren’t bad). It meets my needs. I play metal, rock, and country music. Sounds good clean, dirty, or distorted. No complaints other than 5 minutes of looking for a wiring diagram. Doesn’t take long to install as long as you know how to solder a connection.

Changed out my pickguard and bridge pickup to convert a SSS to HSS Strat.The pickup sounds good and fit well with the Dopro 11-Hole Strat HSS Guitar Pickguard.They need to package the item better than wrapping it in tinfoil and a zip-loc bag.They should include a pickguard schematic with the item and include HSS and HH variations.Measured 15.4K ohms. Over-all, it's a good pickup for the money.

Paired with a Bourns 500k pot, this pickup actually sounds pretty good for the price. Not muddy, clear pinch harmonics, etc. Really surprised me.

I bought a Schecter C-1 Platinum for $100, problem was the previous owner took out the old pickups. I didn't want to spend much on a new pickup set, I could've bought a used set of quality pickups, but even that is around $80-90. I'm cheap , and pretty much broke so I just took a chance on these. I've been playing guitar for 14+ years, tried MANY pickups, by Dimarzio, Fluence, EMG, Seymour Duncan, etc. I'll be realistic, these Chinese pickups aren't as great as any of those name brands, but they're pretty damn good for $13. They're high output and have a good high gain tone, and sound pretty decent clean. I wired in a push/pull pot to get some single coil sounds out of them too, they're not too bad clean, i've heard better, but they get the job done..... They look decently made, the wires aren't super long but they were long enough for me. They got a nice clean look too. I mostly use amplifier sims like BIAS FX, Guitar Rig 5, and have yet to use them in a "real" amplifier, but through my set up they sound pretty good. As good as my Fluence pickups or Dimarzio's in my other guitars? No, but not too far. I mostly play hard rock, metal, and shred like Satriani, Vivaldi... They do a good job... You just have to remember, your amp setup is far more important than your pickups. So if you're looking for a massive tone upgrade with ANY pickup, you will be disappointed. Pickups will help you get closer to what you want, but they will not be the main source of your tone. Just thought i'd mention that to any noob out there looking to upgrade! Good buy! for $13 you can't really complain

I bout these for a cheap metal guitar even though i play bass i just wanted a functional guitar for my friends and family and the pickups work fine they just have one issue the humming these pickups are bad and the pickups are designed for raw clean tones in stead of the heavy metal and shredder songs that i put on the guitar over all if you these are good for the price but I don't like the humming 6/10

Just dropped these into a project guitar I've been modifying, replacing a pair of SD '59 pickups I had as spares that I can now use on something else. These things actually sound great. Given what goes into making pickups and humbuckers, i wasnt expecting terrible results anyway. Compared to spending $100 on branded pickups each, this seemed an obvious choice for a $400 guitar i already routed out and am beating up.Existing documentation is all over the place though unfortunately. I've only been able to remedy as treating all the wires bundled together as such:Black - HotWhite and Red - Twisted together, so I assumed the coil tap, just soldered together and taped offGreen and bare - Twisted together, so assumed ground, soldered togetherSome things are floating around saying one or the other, and if you dont want to disassemble the pickups to make absolutely sure you might as well make use of the only hint you've got.

Clean and high gain pickup, very nice pickup, sound loud and well sustainable, love it

Excelentes pastillas! Se las puse a una Epiphone de los 80' ya que las que traía de fabrica ya no funcionaron. Quede fascinado, no esperaba tan buen tono!

Preso per sostituire il single coil di una telecaster al manico.Per il prezzo pagato non si può chiedere di più, ho avuto modo anche di splittarlo e quindi tornare al suono da single coil qualora ne avessi bisogno.Unica accortezza, attenti al cablaggio, attenetevi alle istruzioni riportate sul foglietto del pick up e lasciate stare i vari siti tipo dimarzio e seymour duncan, perchè per esperienza posso dirvi che ogni produttore cambia i colori dei vari poli del pick e potreste incorrere in una configurazione sbagliata. I fili saldati insieme dovete semplicemente nastrarli con dell'isolante nel caso in cui non dobbiamo splittare il pickup. Il filo di massa va collegato insieme a quello scoperto. Il restante al selettore.Per essere sicuri procuratevi un multimetro.

Für meine Yamaha Pacifica 112J brauchte ich einen neuen Humbucker und wollte nicht so viel für einen Marken Pickup ausgeben. Den Humbucker brauche ich am Steg für Crunch, Overdrive und High Gain Sounds, also alles von Blues über Classic Rock bis Metal.Ich habe 3 verschiedene Humbucker bestellt und ausprobiert:1) Fleor Humbucker (Ceramic)2) Wilkinson Vintage Tone Humbucker (Alnico V)3) Wilkinson Classic Tone Humbucker (Ceramic).Und der Gewinner ist: Der Fleor Humbucker und zwar ganz deutlich! Wer sich fragt, ob die Wilkinson und Fleor die gleichen Tonabnehmer sind und nur anders gelabelt werden - nein, dem ist nicht so. Es sind definitiv verschiedene Tonabnehmer. Gleicher Hersteller oder nicht kann ich nicht sagen, aber vermutlich nicht, da nicht einmal die Anschlusskabel gleich sind (mehr dazu weiter unten).Der Wilkinson Classic Tone matscht bei verzerrten Sounds ganz schön. Der Wilkinson Vintage Tone hat mich nicht so recht überzeugt, klingt irgendwie meh, der Fleor klingt clean okay, vielleicht etwas flach, aber der Humbucker am Steg ist auch nicht für Clean Sounds gedacht, das können die anderen Pickups(-Kombinationen) besser. ABER für Crunch, Overdrive und High Gain Sounds klingt der richtig gut, auch mit viel Verzerrung ausreichend differenziert und matscht überhaupt nicht. Output liegt mit 14kOhm genau richtig für eine Kombination mit Singlecoils.Der Humbucker ist auch gut verarbeitet, Störgeräuchse in Kombination mit dem Single Coil ind der Mitte sogar etwas weniger als bei den Wilkinson.Es gibt aber dennoch zwei Kritikpunkte:1) Außen ist über beide Coils ein Tape gewickelt. Bei den inneren Coils ist aber kein Tape drum gewickelt (sieht man bei den Produkt Fotos auch wenn man genau hin sieht). Zum Schutz wäre es schon wünschenswert dass da auch ein Tape drum gemacht wird. Zwar nicht so schlimm, aber dennoch.2) Fleor liefert kein Anschlussplan mit und hier in den Artikelbeschreibung steht auch nichts.Wenn man bei Ebay schaut, steht black = hot, red+white = series (also zum splitten), green+bare = groundSo habe ich den Humbucker angeschlossen und Ich wollte ihn dann eigentlich schon wieder zurück schicken, weil ich dachte dass irgendwas mit dem Pickup nicht stimmt - der Klang war irgendwie komisch, so out of Phase mäßig irgendwie. Also habe ich mich nach anderen Humbuckern umgesehen. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass der Fleor Humbucker den Artec Humbuckern von der Verarbeitung her bei den Produktfotos sehr ähnlich sieht und bei den Kabeln auch die gleichen Farben verwendet werden. Bei den Artec Humbuckern findet man zum Anschließen folgenden Hinweis:green = hot, red+white = series (also zum splitten), black+bare = groundIch dachte "nur Versuch macht kluch" - habe den Pickup dann gem. den Artec Angaben angeschlossen und siehe da, alles funzt wie es soll.Das legt den Verdacht natürlich nahe, dass die Fleor Pickups von Artec stammen. Aber warum kann man dem Käufer denn nicht einen korrekten Anschlussplan mitschicken? Oder zumindest bei den Artikelbeschreibung einen Satz dazu verlieren, wie der Humbucker korrekt angeschlossen wird? Das ist schon etwas ärgerlich.Alles in allem aber ein echt guter Humbucker. Für das Rätsel raten, wie der Humbucker anzuschließen ist, müsste ich eigentlich einen Punkt abziehen, mache ich aber nicht, da der Humbucker wirklich gut ist und zu diesem Preis volle 5 Sterne mit absoluter Kaufempfehlung verdient.
