I only know about Vanson PUs from UK, from doing web searches. They offer a PU I'm interested in on ebay, Alnico V chrome humbucker with 12 screws. This would be used in an archtop with bronze strings. I've been using those strings with the stock Schaller humbucker for three years; does work & sounds great, but you have to drastically lower or remove the B & E screws. Having adjustable screws on both sides seems better. This is the only lower-priced Alnico PU I've come across with this feature.

Vanson seems sort of like a UK version of GFS.

Anyone try their products?

Not a popular brand, I suppose, since there have been zero replies. I do like the Alnico V magnet, and the 12 screws. Made in the "far east" doesn't deter me; just about every item in Harbor Freight or Lowes, etc. is from there also.
