@@kevinbradshaw1420 France! (not sure why I wasn't notified of your reply at the time, but better late than never) They still aren't super widely distributed, but at least they're on Amazon now.
Those are the MWVS at that pricepoint - the ceramic versions, for ceramics pickups they sound incredible. Trevor Wilkinson sure knows what he is doing when he designs pickups. They have a very full sound, quite warm but still sound like a strat should, not at all brittle. I have these very same pickups
That is one smooth guitar tone! Your playing is so smooth and melodic. Have to say, each time I hear the soft finger-plucked tune you were playing, it's what I imagine in my head to be gently playing in the background while in a guitar show room. This is the sound I fell in love with and want in my own guitar. I'm trying to mod my mystery Fender Strat and want an upgrade, so this is the type I want. First time trying to rewire, got me a bit agitated at first, but I'm gonna give it a go until it gets done right!
I bought these pickups because of your video. They sound amazing. You wouldn’t believe how many people are trash talking these pickups. I really don’t understand why. They sound awesome. Can’t wait to put them in my HB ST-62.
The only people that trash talk inexpensive stuff are the shmucks who paid top dollar for an instrument and they still cant play worth a fuck. It goes on now more than ever since so much inexpensive stuff is available now. Take an 85 dollar EBay Tele and sand the neck down and dress the frets, 50 dollar set of pickups and new strings and it will hold its own with any $900 fender. I actually prefer my chinese gold top over my 72 Custom.
Wizzle Just tested them today through my tube amp and through my band mate’s solid state amp. They are amazing. My band mate went crazy with the sound he got on his amp. Truly great!
I love guitar product demos like this one. You played enough for me to be able to get a good feel for the sound of the pickups while not over-playing to stroke that ‘guitarist’s ego’ that we’re all guilty of having. (Although your playing was impeccable.) You played around in a couple different configurations but didn’t bounce between them so quickly as to not get a feel for clean, overdriven, etc. I stumbled onto your video during a ‘deep dive’ while looking for a video on a specific Wilkinson trem. Even though these pickups aren’t the part that I was looking for, I’m now seriously considering using them in my Strat upgrade project, and I’ve gained a new guitarist to add to my subscription feed. Thanks for taking your time to show us things like this!
I watched this video and bought me a set of these pickups... I just installed them night before last... man, I must say they are crisp, clean and play so smoothly... and for the price you cant beat them. I paid $26 for a brand new set. Some sell the same set for upwards to $100, so you have to shop around for where to get them, they are some great pickups... thanks again Simon
Wilkinson has always something really good from their products!. I have Wilkinson telecaster vintage bridge and pickups, really happy about them. Very good demo. Cheers.
I have a Vintage V6 Icon (Strat model) with Wilkinson pickups and it's the favourite strat of a few friends of mine. They just love that sound and so do I
Really great pickups demonstration! Thank you for your work, Simon! It's really hard to find demo of affordable pickups, played by real player on a real guitar into a real amplifier! You got one more subscriber! :)
Thanks mate. I'm building a strat style guitar, and your video was the deciding factor in their purchase. I feel a bit more confident hitting "add to cart" after watching your video. Thank you.
There's a ceramic vintage and then there's the wvs 60s which are the more expensive alnico's. The latter with the alnico sounds fantastic. Balanced, earthy, and they articulate very well. It doesn't sound muddy when you strum a chord. It also overdrive's very well.
Ceramic is clearer , less prone to noise, normally more powerful and overdrive well. Alnico vs Ceramic is guitarist superstition. Guitarist should have payed more attention in science class. I’m sure you believe tonewood matters on a solid body electric.
Thanks for this. I ordered a loaded pickguard with these exact pickups for my USA strat, needing to take the edge off . I have 3 alnico lipsticks in it right now and it is too bright. These are just what the doctor ordered.. Total cost of the loaded pickguard was under fifty bucks
Sounds like a proper Strat tone to me. Perhaps a bit fuller than what a set of, say, SSL-1s would do. BTW, speaking of affordable pickups, Artec is another company that makes great pickups that do not cost an arm & a leg. I use their lipsticks and single coil sized „rail“ PUs, and they easily hold their own against Duncans and DiMarzios (at 1/3rd the price).
This such a great review, helps a lot of upcoming guitarists that dont have the budget to begin with expensive gear im considering upgrading mine with these as well thanks for the review
Thanks Simon! I cracked up where you said, "see if you can guess which pickups..." when you put the maker in the name of the vid... JK, thanks, this is helping me pick out my pickups...cheers
No worries buddy. I think that when I recorded it, I didn't have the name in the title, but then after a couple of weeks added it in. They're great pickups by the way
I have several strats with Wilkinson pickups in one of them. All the strats have standard strat single coils and they all sound similar but the Wilkinsons are actually the best in my opinion. Vintage Strat sounding, not ice picky, slighty beefier in the bridge. Nothing wrong with them and I'd happily buy them again.
I just dropped a Wilk loaded pickguard into my squire, I think it sounds better than my MIM strat. Nice surprise but I'm also scratching my head like really Fender?
Hi and greetings from Las Vegas Nevada USA, MATE! Thanks so much for the NO BS review on pickups that "us working folks" can afford on putting on our NOT $1,200 FENDER STRATS"! Great job my friend. Keep up the good work. God bless and take care...
i build and sell partscasters..usually my selling price is $300 for a strat or telly..using wilkinson pups bridges and tuners means i'm able to make a decent profit and still offer a great sounding guitar..the people i've sold to love the wilks..just ordered 3 sets for strats at $25 U.S. per set b4 they disappear or go up in price..will be ordering more as long as they are available at such a low price...thanks for vid!!
Thanks for sharing, put a set in a cheap Swing ST-100 and it sounds as good if not better than my as my American Professional Strat now. Friends have played the two blind and always pick the cheep guitar as the better of the two. Subjective for sure but good tone is good tone.
I have Wilkinson'sin in both my cheap Tele and Strat (Harley Benton) and i really like the sound. Might upgrade to better pots,but they really sound ace as is. Good vid mate
It does surprise me why so few guitar players use Wilkinson pickups, especially gigging players. I guess its the marketing muscle of Seymour/Bare Knuckle et al. Wilkinson usually sound very clear, and have great harmonic qualities, especially their single coil pickups.
And you can always switch the covers if you don't want to advertise your pickups are not 'boutique' or Fender . . . I have ceramic 'vintage' in my Korean E9 from the factory . . . very low impedance (4.5K).
I've installed multiple Wilkinson pups, including P90s and humbuckers, and they do offer such an incredible versatile sound and for surprisingly little money.... Nice demo by the way!! Too many Kemper / AxeFX afficionados out there picking their go-to average and bland Plini preset, making every guitar sound absolutely the same 🤣🤣🤣
I have a set of Wilkinson ceramics in a parts Stratocaster (which had gone through several unsatisfactory configurations by Seymour Duncan) and they were the magic piece of that particular puzzle. They sound amazing and that was the first time I preferred another brand over Duncan on any instrument.
just stumbled across this,, what a fantastic demo!! great job man. Thanks for the time you put into making a vid. I loved the articul\te playing, really give you an idea if your on a budget, im looking gto replace some pups on a 92 Patrick eggle i have owned since new... i could have slamed £300/400 into it, or i thought id try some others. BIG fan of BKPs,, as well
Thank you for this review, I just picked up some hamburgers (humbuckers... the voice to text did no justice. But I'm leaving it!) and some P Bass pickups from this company and I wasn't sure what to think. I just started building my own guitars, I wanted something that was affordable to start out. Apparently they are pretty good
After having seen all great reviews I purchased a pre wired pickup guard with these pickups on my 70's Japanese Stat copy and they don't sound good at all using distorsion. It's best described as a good sound with a disturbance on top of it like a bad wiring or something. Or like a string buzzing into the fretboard. Problem is that it's everywhere all over the fretboard and on all strings. It's like a dirty unclean signal and I'm not talking about the distorsion. My other guitars all sounds great but this sound like crap. Anyone have any good lead to what might be going on?
A lot of marketing goes into getting guitar players to lay out 100's of hard earned cash for pick ups...A LOT! But as anyone with ears can hear, these are fine pick ups and will suit the needs of most players. Maybe if you play everything clean, like jazz players do, you might want the highest end Pick ups you can afford, but if you are adding effects and pedals into the mix, these will do fine and you can save the money towards a quality tube screamer, like in the video.
Hi, welcome great video! The sound is very good, but I am puzzled by the neck and middle pickups set that way. Do You think that they would sound the same if on a classic Stratocaster? Thanks in advance.
Are these the Wilkerson Wovs ceramics? I just ordered a loaded pickguard with Wovs. I just put a set of Wilkerson 60s Vintage Voiced in my Telecaster they sound great 40 bucks on eBay.
Hey, these sound great! I was just looking at these on Amazon because I have a Squier hot rails Strat as my second guitar and I really like it, but I want to put single coils in the neck and middle position. Do you think these would pair well with the Duncan designed hot rail in the bridge, or should I go with something that’s higher output instead? Thanks!
They're certainly ceramic but sound great. I bought the 5.4k Strat neck pup and put it in my tele copy. Totally transformed the tone and I get a real Stratty sound from the neck position on my tele now. The middle position sounds a lot brighter too but still retains the iconic middle position tele tone. I used to buy all that alnico is better BS I read online but now just use my ears. If it sounds good then it's good. 👍 Wilkinson also sell alnico versions which are around £10 extra per set if you can't live with ceramic.
MartinJG100 ...I got them from Vanson guitars on eBay they sound great for ceramic pups. You can also buy an alnico set for around £10 extra (unbranded).

He did qualify that by saying they were cobras with a DCR around 11 , that's incredibly high for a strat guitar so i'm not surprised they aren't to everyone's taste. I do agree though that these Wilkinsons sound good , for an extra tenner he could have got a set of alnico v artec pick ups , they are seriously good for the outlay which i guess adds to the argument why pay ridiculous money for pick ups that really cannot be justified but there's a lot of unjustified snobbery around pick ups !
They sound good and quiet. They just dont sound as hot as I like. It could be your settings. Personally, I have "cheap" pickups in some of my guitars and they sound great. I'm not the guy who drinks the koolaid and I like what I like.
More like if you have a Mesa Boogie, you don't have to spend as much on the pickups. Also, you don't have to over-spend to get good pickups (as is shown here). I play Wilkinsons through a Micro Cube and they sound pretty damn good. Thinking of trying them on a stock Squier Tele 2000 standard model. Nice guitar could use better pickups.
@@camilo1455 Would be good to hear them through the Micro Cube as I think a lot of people considering these pickups would have more of a budget amp too. The Micro Cube is a good little budget amp and good for apartment or bedroom use.
These sound really full and warm. Wilkinson pickups do have a great reputation. They aren't very easy to find as parts, though.
