After doing a bunch of research looking for the right sound, style, and tone I found almost ALL the Filter'tron style pick-ups (like TV Jones or Gretsch) to be VERY expensive with 2 exceptions the GFS (guitar fetish) Tron's and a little pick-up company called The Fret Wire (TFW) that were selling here on Amazon. GFS vintage toned Tron's were more exspensive and they only had a GOLD style in stock. Rather than waiting I decided to give these FRET WIRE pickups on Amazon a shot because of the great value. I figured it was Worth the risk... AND THEY SOUND GREAT. I think they are a Hot Vintage Voice/Tone. They sound right at home in this Red Telecaster. The pickups were easy to wire up. I ended up swapping in a .022 Russian Paper and Oil cap on the Tone pot (also off Amazon) that worked very well. This Telecaster now purrs and growls. THANKS FRET WIRE GUYS! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful. They bite! *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019* Just to give you an idea of what I play, I have a hollowbody archtop. It's a cheap Chinese knockoff of a Casino or 335. Also have a cheap tele knockoff with P90s, A Dean Shire, and used to have a couple of Strat knockoffs. I'll be honest. I don't like the way Fender inspired guitars play. But I do like the way they sound. The hollow body guitar is a nice instrument. I've never had one so playable.A while back I bought a Les Paul Special 2 and I like the way it plays. The neck is quite comfortable and the body is small and light. Even the pickups in it are decent. This is something that I could take out and not worry about it being knocked around some. Even though the stock pickups are good on their own, I wondered if I could get some of that glassy Strat chime on this cheap LP. I came across these beauties while browsing Amazon and I thought for the price I'd give it a try. They are everything I'd hoped for and they look great too. True, they are not as loud as humbuckers. But they are about on par with typical single coil output. The neck pickup is similar in sound to a humbucker. The bridge pickup is much closer to what a single coil sounds like. So there's a lot of versatility there.The lower output is not a bad thing. A lower output pickup can give you better control of your clean tone and if you dial in your amp just right you can get right on the line between clean and dirty and do some pretty cool stuff.Before I wrap this up, a word on microphonics. Years ago all pickups were that way. Then potted pickups came along and it fixed feedback problems but it just didn't sound as good. There are still some players out there who won't use a potted pickup. Yes, these P90s are microphonic, and they sound great. If you're going to play metal you want potted pickups. If you're going to play metal you don't want P90s. So you see how this is a non issue. If you want classic clean and dirty the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Clapton and Hendrix, These are an excellent pickup to choose. If you set up your amp correctly and don't stand right in front of it you could even manage to get some metal tones out of it. Just know there's a limit to how much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrades for a cheap guitar *by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017* I have an Ibanez GR (begineer model) guitar that I found used for $80 and decided to turn into a fretless. It was a fun project with great results, but the stock pickups sounded muddy and their low output meant that my sustain was now virtually non existant as the strings were now fretted against my finger instead of a metal fret. Considering that this was such an inexpensive guitar, I couldn't bring myself to spend twice what I paid for it on a set of Seymour Duncans. Instead I decided to take a gamble with these, and it definitely paid off.Compared to the stock pickups, these offer much more clarity and output. The mid to high frequencies are noticeably punchier while still maintaining a tight bass response. For my purposes, this was exactly what I was after. These may be a bit too bright for some, but since I was trying to brighten up the sound I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't put these up against SD Pearly Gates or the like, but if you have a cheap guitar that you want a clearer sound out of, these might be just the trick. At this price point it'd almost be silly not to try them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/63498510-the-fretwire-replacement-pickup-set-humbucker-pickup-set-to-repair](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/63498510-the-fretwire-replacement-pickup-set-humbucker-pickup-set-to-repair) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
