Alegree

Thinking about a set of Alegree in my Strat.

Anyone got any experience of them?

I have a set in my tele and they sound frickin amazing. Up there with Fender custom shop Pickups.

I have a filter style in one guitar. Decent. Handwound but with what looks to be import parts. Doesn't have that look of better made hardware from MOJO/Creamery.
Probably more open to custom winds than the aforementioned.
Have used one of their unoriented V mags to nicely fatten up an alnico iv humbucker.

Alex made me a filtertron to spec to go with my tele bridge pick up. I was really impressed with it. He is a decent guy to deal with I found.

I had Texas Hailstorms in my strat and a loaded guard he made for me. Transformed a brittle sounding guitar to something that sounded great. If I ever go back to a strat I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from him again. Excellent service and excellent products. 
I stupidly traded it for a Reverend that I quickly realised wasn’t half as good to play.

Brilliant that's exactly what I'm planning to do.

Don’t do the last bit. ;-)

Yes they're great pickups! And Alex is super helpful!

The only Reverend I've played was really shit and the guy who had it really regretted buying it so I definitely won't!

I have a set in a Strat and a set of filtertrons in another guitar and they both sound great (I was particularly pleased with the filtertrons). There's also a set of PAF-sized WRHBs with Feline at the moment to be assembled into a guitar, which I'm sure I'll NGD when I get it.

I've just ordered.

Will update with how I get on.

Cirrostratus. They were put in there by teyeplayer who put the guitar together. The neck sounds huge and the bridge has a wonderful rawness, and bites when adding gain. 

I just opted for some full montys for my new tele build. Hoping these will be just as good.

I've had a set of those pickups in an online shopping cart for the last couple of days. That might have been the nudge I needed. Thank you
