Well the stock pickups don't compare to the VanZants (Gasp!--no great shock there) but I have had heard much worse....The Daphne Blue is really close to seafoam green---but thats a good thing as far as I am concerned. $100 for a great neck and painted body is a steal----I need one of those white ones---so I can have a red, white, and blue collection of Bullets----I WILL come up with a reason to buy "JUST ONE MORE"---yeah, right.......These are a no brainer good deal............cheers!-----JIMO
