After hearing the el cheapo GFS Surf 90 in Juansolo's mongrelcaster, I decided to buy a pair for my Xtone.
If i don't like them £60 isn't going to break the bank.
They are a humbucker sized De Armond Dynasonic-alike (ish). Having not heard any Dynasonics in the flesh I can only compare the sound to other pickups. To me the neck pickup is like a P90 with less mids, and more highs, not harsh though. The bridge is between a tele bridge pickup and a P90, really nice with medium to high gain.
The SD Alnico II Pros which were stock aren't going back in it!
It's a shame they dont do them in gold to match, but Gretsch have used chrome Dynasonics and gold hardware before, so I'm not too bothered.
