he says they are pretty high end

I got one a while back for a Strat but never used it, very hot about 13K, made in Canada I believe, don't know if the company is still in business anymore.
They were high end new ( but then again so were Lace Sensors in their heyday!) Jeff Healey was an endorser.
The guy I sold it to loved it, they don't sound like a traditional Strat pu though.

just wanted to get some feedback from people who have used them or heard them rather than just base my decision on "salespitch"

but thanks anyway!
