Just installed a set in an Eric Johnson Strat, Man I dont think you can get a bad tone from these pickups! very balanced and open and they will spank when you turn up or kick on an overdrive, I just left the tone controls stock but have the blender pot and Angela insts, oil cap to put in it,I kinda like it as is, these pickups are smooove!

do they have a high output level (i suppose with the "hot" ) ?

i'd be interested to try some other pu's than the CS 69' pu's i actualy have in my mark knopfler strat

They are a bit hotter than the pickups in my 56 relic CS strat, and hotter than the stock EJ, pickups but just a tad. smoother toned and better balance, I am going to install a blender pot and make the middle tone a master tone for the 3 pickups.
