Anyone know, use or have you ever heard of warman, vanson, fleor, oripure pickups ?
Given that I love the fender sound very much, and that I know perfectly well that it cannot be compared to the gibson one, they are two completely different worlds, as fortunately we are. let's get to the point, I am not 100% satisfied with the sound of my epi dot I have the impression that the tone is slightly opaque I don't know how to say better, it lacks the sparkling that I would appreciate very much, at the time I got this lack on a les paul replacing the pickups with the probuckers. This time, however, I would not like to copy and paste, what would you do in my place, without spending too much on blazons like Seymour Douncan, di Marzio, etc., what do I have for 50/60 euros per couple?
The idea was a p90 (sized humbuker) neck and humbuker to bridge like 59 vanson.

I can't speak for the other brands you've mentioned but am very fond of my Iron Gear pickups, for reference I have a Tesla Shark Neck p/u in my DIY Tele and an overwound Steel Foundry in the bridge.

I’ll just point out they’re all available covered or uncovered.

I have the Vanson HB90s installed in a Mahogany Cort. I like them - I have 500k pots on the guitar, so wide open (pots at 10) they are quite bright.

Anyone know official Vanson web site ? I found many similar pickups but i don't know if are fake or all vanson brand. This is a chinese brand or Uk brand build in china? And there are two version ceramic and alnico I think they only trade via eBay. The cheaper alnico Chinese versions are most likely the same ones as Vansons. Check out YT modder Guitar Manifesto who used the Chinese alnico p90 sized humbuckers in a recent Strat build for a review.

If you buy straight from China they are around half the price of the Vanson pick ups. Most likely Warman are the same too with a logo attached making it more expensive.

About a 18 months ago I bought a pair of alnico P90s from China (ebay), as they looked exactly the same as Vansons and had the same specs (7.5kneck 8k Bridge). They cost about £12 for the pair which was less than the cost of one Vanson P90. Tbh you can't fault the build quality and they sound like humbucker sized P90s should sound. I put the bridge pup in a Squier strat along with middle and neck alnico 5 single coil pups, again these were Chinese set of 3 for around £20 and exactly as specified and very good build quality. I believe these are Fleor pups all the parts I bought from that particular sellar was in Fleor packaging. The pups were individually wrapped in tin foil?

Some of the Chinese P90s Are ceramic not alnico. I can't give you a link to the seller I got my alnico5 P90s, as I can only get a buy similar option in purchase history on ebay. I can't get details of the sale this must be due to time elapsed or that the seller is no longer active on ebay?
