This pickups set came with an American Standard Stratocaster that I received in a trade. The pickups sounded really good but I had already picked out another set. It is in excellent cosmetic condition. It can be easily installed and does not require soldering. The screws that came with it have never been used. The volume pot was a little scratchy which does not impact the sound except when turning the knob. I would expect that this could be cleaned with contact cleaner. The box is a little torn up but I will include it since I have it.
