does anyone know anything about dragonfire pickups?

Hi
I am looking for a new set of pickups and I stumbled upon dragonfire pickups, they are very cheap an I was wondering if anyone knew about them. I would like to know how good(or how bad) they are before I buy them.
Any input is appreciated

IIRC, our own Refin did a sound clip with a Dragonfire pickup......a blade bucker type tele bridge pup.....and it sounded pretty darn fine! Of course, Mr Refin could play a teapot through a Realistic pencil mic and it would sound killer. Anyway, you may want to check out his soundclick page ( do a serach for his name in the twanger central forum ) and see if you cna find the clip. Of course if my memory has failed me, ( and it is quite a bit these days ) I disavow any knowledge of this post!

I use Mare, Voodoos, and Lollars all the time in my builds...

But recently I popped a set into a Mexican Tele that I wanted to rob the Frahlins out of, and they sound great...
Not good, but great....

I don't know if I got lucky or what, but that's my .02....

I have not used the single coil pups from them but I have installed the zebras into a couple of my Tomahawks. They were $28 for the PAIR and they sounded great!!! They sounded good enough that a customer requested them in his guitar after playing my prototype.They are not 4 wire though so splitting is not possible.
