Boutique pickups without the boutique prices

There are a lot of great pickup winders in the world but today we check out the Guitar Anatomy Fuzzy Duck Tele set. These are low output ( just over 7k each ), hand wound in the UK, and extremely affordable at ~$100 for a set. I decided to try them in my Tokai Breezysound and compare them with the stock pickups. Thanks to the people at Fuzzy Duck for sending me this for today's review.

Great to see some excellent and great value UK pickups the channel. Thought these sounded great and that’s a lovely guitar. Great playing as ever to showcase the sparkle especially of those pickups

Have to agree with other comments, the blue on the Tokai is fantastic. Really a beautiful color, esp with the dark rosewood. I honestly liked both sets of pickups, though they did sound different. I am curious how the Fuzzy Ducks sound compared to the Bootstrap pickups you tried last year?

Gorgeous looking guitar and great sounding boutique pickups. I wonder what a Strat set would sound like??(!!) 🙂🙂🎸🎸

Those sound great. I like thr vinatge sounding pickups myself too. I just reached out to them to inquire about their Silver 90's set. Im hoping they will do unpotted for them. Great sounding Tele.

A nice comparison. I didn't think the stock pickups were too shabby, but the Fuzzy Ducks had a bit more upper-end sparkle.

Sound great….Are they on a par with Bootstraps?….I live in the UK so it makes more sense hooking Ducks this side of the pond…..parden the pun👍

What about non-boutique pickups with the boutique prices?

[Wilco]

Did Tokai have to change the headstock? Come to some agreement with Fender? I've seen so many of their products that are exact replicas of Fender guitars, to see one with an altered headstock is a little weird.

Vintage Fender pickups from the 70s are only like $200 each

Love the guitar!! The Fuzzy Ducks are cool but I'd throw a set of Duncans in it. 😊
