pickup is not bad at all - pots are sub par and so is the pickup ring. some of these also seem to have a lot of hum that I have a hard time gettting rid of unless I shield the entire inside of the box. Still Worth $5 bucks for just the pickup alone though.
Hi Janne, bought one on eBay from Hong Kong a white one from SZdepot88 for 5.79 GBP. Does not work as it's wired wrong.
Complained and received a voucher for 7.00 US dollars so all in all not a a bad deal for the money. Stublecol has one he rewired and fitted to his home made dog bowl guitar with a slight mod and seems very happy with it. All the best mate, Chris. :)
That was probably because the Chinese solder from right to left instead of left to right.

Hi all.
I just got one of these on ebay for my first attempt at a build. I thought buying a pre wired rig would save me some time, bad language and burnt fingers. However, when I tested it the jack was dead. A while spent looking at wiring diagrams and checking everything with a multi-meter led me to a wire which had been soldered to the wrong terminal on the volume pot. All seems to be well now and my burns aren’t too bad but I think I may solder up my own rigs in future. I can’t tell you how it sounds as the glue is still setting up on my guitar.

it looks like a bunch of people have used that or VERY similar even saw em on utube sound ok to me i would add a .022 uf tone cap on it google shows very simple install instruction now you can cut highs and fill middle with a bit o bass. orange caps like single coil in .022 most common strat cap or a .047 for lower treble fatter top mid and bottom hope that mite help you, Slim

Thank you, Keni! You just saved my day!
OP: I'll give it a try. It costs literally nothing.

So, I'm at the bar last night, and I'm talkin' it up with this hot Chinese chick.
I lean over and whisper in her ear, "Lets go home to my place for a little 69".
She looks at me with this big smile and sez,
"I love Beef and Broccoli".
(Sorry could not resist)
Enjoy.
I use one of these on my main CBG. and it works great.
i've bought a couple from Suntekstore uk,and a fully loaded 'strat' pick guard (which i stripped for the parts) £11 ish.
