Dave 'Robbo' came to the Hankies last night with his 'bitsa strat' and his ironstone pups sounded amazing, value for money these must be some of the best around !!.

Shall I order one Gold set and fit my 2004 CIJ Strat ( currently a Fender American Alnico Vintage set ) ?
I will do all for a better sound. The pu on this guitar are not very well balanced IMHO ! The bridge
pu is ok, but the neck pu has a big lack of twang !

Hi Hans , Your current pups should give you a good enough tone (if working correctly), as Robbo has pointed out the guitar set-up is paramount to achieving 'The Sound', Although the price of the Ironstones would allow you to compare without breaking the bank

You are right - it would not break the bank. I will order one set !
