Kick in the Arse

I installed the full set of 3 Kick in the Arse and am very pleased. Like the Jazzmaster Fatmaster pickups that I orderd last year, Kinman pickups are everything they claim to be. The non-existent string pull makes a big difference over other pickups. It's not as sublte a difference as you would think, both in terms of string feel and the Stratitis out-of-tune wolfe-tones. The overall tone is very full and pure, but there is so much adjustment that I can stil get a single coil type of tone out of them if I want. Two thumbs up big time.

I've been very happy with you Kick-In-The-Arse pickups. I've gotten a lot of compliments from guitar players and luthiers alike on how unconventional (in a good way) they sound. The most consistent observation I've heard from other players is that it sounds like a crossbreed of P-90 and humbucker and that's probably due to the maple neck on my ESP guitar.

I'm really impressed how full sounding the pickup is for a neck position. It's definitely a fuller sound than the mini humbuckers that Seymour Duncan & Dimarzio offer. I think the unique sound of the Kick-In-the-Arse pickups are surprisingly great and I'm so impressed.

I just ordered another set of 3 Kick-in-the-Arse for neck and bridge and Big-9-O for the middle for my Kiesel Strat. I included the harness option too. Take it from me that my new purchase implies how happy I am with your great Kick-in-the-Arse pickups.

Chris and Team,

I just wanted to drop a line to say Thank You.

I am simply awestruck, speechless with these pickups (Kick-in-the-Arse bridge and Texas Jalapeno middle and neck)

From the very first note that leapt from the amp it was obvious that your pickups aren't just 'next level', they are peerless (meaning without equal).  

Thank you again.  I'm looking forward to placing another order soon.
