GFS Vintage Blowouts

Save your money. Your stock pick ups are just as good, if not better. Those "blowouts" are not actual GFS pickups. |

I always figured they were basically the same as stock Bullet or Affinity pickups.

If they are still available, these may be a better set for close to the same price. |

i bought a set of those vintage blow outs...actually, they're not too bad. yeah, ur better off with alnicos, but they have staggered pole pieces, which helps a bit more than the stocks.

I purchased the blowout pickups. They are better than stock squier. Not as good as Tex-Mex, or Seymour-Duncan, but for the price I think they were worth the money.

Weird, are they selling returned pickups now? Isn't that set usually $47 or so?
I always thought those non-premium GFS brand sets seemed like a good deal.

Probably no way of telling if they are used or demo or what but looks like a killer deal, assuming they have any in stock. Could be dependent on returns. |
