Bought some Kinman Tele pickups

[lespaulreedsmith]

Bought me some Kinmans for my new Tele build... What can I look forward to?
Anybody have a set?

No but I'm very interested to hear what you think. I want some noiseless pups but haven't decided on anything. General consensus seems to be that Kinmans are at the top of the heap.

I'm running a set of AVn-48 Broadcasters in a Standard Tele (ash body). With the Kinman Treble bleed and a tone bypass switch (among other mods), I'm really liking them. Tone bypass gives you that "sparkly" tone back, and I prefer them with brass barrels.

Tried one out on a Hot Rod Deluxe at my favorite store with the gain maxed out and I was able to control the gain all the way to clean with just the guitar volume pot.

A lot of colors available simply with the tone control.

Reallly like the Kinman Broadcasters in my '69 Thinline Reissue....
