Bill n Becky Keystones are fantastic and also reasonable cost USA build I had a set installed in my Tele . At present I have a set of Tonerider Vintage Plus,Chinese made but ultra high quality , which give ,to me ,a fine authentic vintage Fender tone .They are much lower output than the Keystones . I prefer the Bridge on the Tonerider,it not too sharp but still twangy but maybe the neck on the Keystones.Its a bit hotter for blues playing so I may well end up mixing the two when I get time .I use 4 way switching .I want to try the Toneriders at full blast at a jam session before I decide .both are fine pickups .
