JJ's Guitar Pickups 'Neptune Set HSS High Output Alnico 2 Pickups' by Ben Bailey. I've been keenly waiting to try these new pickups by Ben and they do not disappoint. Based around Alnico 2 magnets with plenty of sublime tricks, these pickups should find favour with anyone wanting a mix of rock and versatility. They'll surely be living in this Fender Ultra Strat for the foreseeable future.
