    I haven't.

    David just finished up a set of Zhangbuckers for me - A Duanebucker and a Pagey 2. When they arrive, I'll be throwing them into my SE Korina just to see what happens.

    It would be easier to read the reviews on the site than it would be to get into here thats why I included the link.. I will say that there work better than any I have tried so far. I ave the CS69 set . Great pickups for the working guitar player IMO.
    You of all people should know what the hype is off shore, you have read the reviews of people on Strat-talk and heard clips.

    i can't tell about his pickups, but i find odd the fact that suddenly so many people rave about his job in the major forums. not a bad thing necessary, but it just doesn't feels right to me.

    Well they are fantastic pups so I guess thats why people rave about them .

    People will do that when a good product shows up .
    Aleast Dave sells his at a reasonable price and doesn't have a waiting list ....yet.

    I just finished playing my MIM Esquire for a couple of hours ,which is now a tele with D.Allen Cheetahs in it. Again a fantastic set. Well balanced neck and bridge. note seperation is fantastic. The neck pup is very mellow but not muddy. Bridge is not icepicky and does what ever you want it to.Both sustain well.
    Like all his pups they are a little quieter than most S.C. and have a sig. sound to them IMO and I as well as many others like that a great deal.

    Dave will talk to customers always is prompt in doing so, as well as shipping.
