Hi, I have recently purchased, and fitted a new set of Kinman Hank Marvin Magnum Opus 59 pickups in my Fender Stratocaster 57 USA Reissue, the guitar is fitted with 12-52 Elixir strings. I am really happy with the sound that they give, its a long way from any previous sets of Kinmans that I have had fitted or heard, and they give a far more vintage feel, and sound than say the 54 Impersonator v5 set which I have fitted on another strat, these are great pickups for a mix of Hank's vintage, and modern sounds, but for me these new pickups really hit the nail on the head with "That Sound", plus they are noiseless which is always a bonus. See what you think?

Hi kev,

That sounds great, nice recording. Certainly doing what they are meant to. Last kinman pickups I had was the hank mordern set. I changed them for CS54s in about 2003, these new versions sound great.

Hi Kev,

That sounds really great, I'm looking forward to hearing more!

Gary and I have also done some demos with these pickups and they can be heard on the Kinman jukebox: https://mobile.kinman.com/mp3/sound-magnum-opus.php More to be added soon.

Sound is very good nice recording

Many Thanks Scott, Paul, and Roger. Really enjoying the new pickups, and looking forward to being able to use them in a live situation once we can, to see what they sound like in the mix of a band.

Regards

Kev
