Review: Great Alnico 5 Pickups That Won't Break The Bank - I decided to show my Partscaster Strat some love, and upgrade the pick-ups with something that wouldn’t break the bank, and have great tone and seem to have pretty good reviews. I purchased the Wilkinson Vintage Tone Alnico 5 Staggered ST Strat Single Coil Pickups SSS and so far have been impressed. I’m switching from pickups using Ceramic magnets to the Alnico 5 magnets and the sound is more in line with what I’ve been seeking. Also, changed out the cheap pots and 5 way switch, caps, etc. to do this upgrade and overall I couldn’t be any happier with what I’m now playing and it sounds as good to my ears as some of the $1,000 to $1800 name brand Strat’s I’ve played lately, at a fraction of the price. 5 Stars for the quality, price, sound and decent build quality. The only thing I’d change would be to include the proper size screws in the package, or include a set of new screws instead of telling the customer as mentioned in the description and in the paperwork, to use your old screws.
Review: Very good pickups, especially when you consider the price. - I still can't believe how low priced these are. They were very well wax potted, and they are not microphonic whatsoever. I have far more expensive pickups that are more microphonic than these. The sound is very bell-like and glassy. I wouldn't call them "warm," but they're not overly bright either. They have a lot of "depth" though. I don't really know how to describe it, but like with all "good to great" pickups, you get that "complexity" in the sound that it's somewhat undefinable, as opposed to the dull/harsh/flat sound a lot of cheap pickups have. Like if you let the note ring out, it's has some "personality" to it. The stock Squier junk pickups I replaced were nothing like that at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price to make a profit
*by T***M on October 15, 2021*

I bought an old squire from a garage sale for $5. Bought these and installed them into the $5 guitar. It sounded really good I sold it for $145 making a $90 profit all cause the sound quality for the price improves cheaper guitars to higher sounding Quality. The squire for me sounding bluesy on clean and old rock with simple distortion when I tried it out. These will improve old guitars you don’t know what to do with and easy instal or at least cheap
