Q-tuners pickups really please to me Very Happy

First of all, their design is wonderful, like no other pickups Wink

And about the sound, the samples I've heard on their website was very good ! Perfect medium and harmonics Twisted Evil Just like the sound of Steve Vai Razz

I will tell you what I think of those pickups once I will get my new guitar ^^
