Got to give a shout out to these fine folks at Rose.
Somehow I stumbled across these and chose to pull the trigger on a set of these during their July 4th sale @ $75 U.S.
Background: My experience having an otherwise dormant 60th Anniversary Strat merely collecting dust in the closet.
In every way this Strat was a mint axe, but those MIM Tex Mex pickups just plain sucked with no response life at all.
Now, with this set of pickups in it, that 60th Strat has now become a strong contender towards my other favorite guitars. 
i.e. I can coax both chimey cleans and the most angry distortions now out of these cool little tone sticks.

I happy to be the herald as these shouldn't be a secret.
