heh are you guys sure?!

because as far as i have come about... i only see the SKY pickups which is KENT ARMSTRONG DESIGNED... NOT the real kent armstrong

those are made in KOREA and the quality of making is totally different... although the sound is pretty decent

 

[Phanto]

its the same sound configs i guess. just made in korea by the sky company, but licensed by kent armstrong?

its NOT the same sound i believe

then why duncan designed is also a seymourduncan designed but produced in korea... they DO NOT sound the same... the real deal is always better

Trying out Kent Armstrong pickups

Hi, I've tried out Kent Armstrong pickups before but really old ones. I'm not sure about the newer models. I tried it on a strat. Lets just say that the pickups are similar to lace sensors on the strats. It'd be best to check the Kent Armstrong website for their distributors and do more research on where they are actually made.
