With the affinity's I don't like the sound of their stock ceramic pickups but they are made for a $100 guitar the ceramics in the MIM Fender are in $500 dollar guitars so you would expect a better quality and you would get it. I have been doing a lot of testing of pickups as I may bring a line out for the Squier market so I have been trying many styles out. It's hard to buy pickups when you can't try them out so you have a lot of guess work to do. Even the sound clips are not so good because the amp has a lot to do with the sound. Good Luck! I almost bought lil'killers but got used dimarzio's Fastracks on ebay!

You are absolutely right about it being hard to pick out pickups when you can't try them out. I compare this to muffler upgrades on a car. lol
