Apex Classic

Apex Classics

Was a bit sceptical regarding “noiseless” after previous experience with other brands, but based on positive reviews I took the leap…very pleased I did, these truly are as advertised, very much a true single coil Strat tone…thought the high end might have been very slightly rolled off at first, but after comparing to my other strays here, each is slightly up or down, and I heard no discernible difference between these and my custom shops, other than anywhere from slightly quieter to a “lot” quieter, depending on the guitar…and again, retaining that traditional Strat tone, quack, bell-like (insert your own) here. Happy customer, would, and likely will, buy again.

Perfectly paired with an Apex plus in the bridge

Outstanding

These pickups greatly exceeded my expectations. I installed them in a Fender Custom Shop ‘57 Strat reissue because the stock pick ups (true to vintage) were extremely noisy. The tone of these pickups is better than the stock pickups and they are virtually dead quiet. I say virtually because occasionally I can hear just a slight amount of noise when using overdrive, but that’s to be expected and can also vary based upon which pedal I’m using. Using the guitar on stage is a night and day difference. I couldn’t gig with the old pickups because they were too noisy but these are almost totally noiseless on stage. I highly recommend these pickups.
