GFS Gold Foil

Anyone tried these? Specifically the humbucker sized humbucker (with 4 wire) and the Ferrite magnet.

Thank you. Can’t listen to it right now.  What are your overall thoughts?

I really liked them.    They did both clean and dirt well.  They look super cool too!

Got to listen to the tracks. Neither really represented the tone I was looking for.

Here are some videos of the tone I am looking for. Would those you be able to capture this, or do I need to keep looking. Mainly video 2 and 4

Unfortunately I no longer own the guitar.  It was built for someone.

I think they will be very close to that tone.  A lot is amp driven too.  I was playing with clean and super high gain in that video (ORANGE TH30)  I think they could pull off a cool blues vibe you are looking for by adding a bit of crunch.  They did have a nice punch to them.  Very crisp.

I am not sure what the MojoTones run, but the GFS will likely run you about 80 for the pair.  Worth a shot.  I have found GFS is a love/hate scenario.  I love some of their pickups and HATE others.  I loved these gold foils.

I do have them in a fender mustang I recently build for someone.  They are close by.  Let me see if I can get some sound with that guitar.

Thank you. It’s actually videos 1 and 4.
Also let me know if it a single coil or double coil in the HB housing, as well as which magnet if you do produce tones.

they were both humbuckers.  Ferrite.
