Set of three Kent Armstrong vintage-spec reproductions of Burns Tri-Sonic single coil pickups, pulled from a 2003 RS Classic by the now-defunct RS Guitars company.  The middle pickup (the one with the red insulation on the lead bundle) is RWRP for humbucking operation.

These are drop-in replacements for Burns Tri-sonics, as found in vintage Burns guitars as well as most copies of Brian May's homebuilt "Red Special" guitar. However, they WILL NOT fit in Fender Strat or Tele pickup slots; they're a bit too wide for that.  They have a unique sound, closer to P90s than Fender style single coils.

Being vintage spec, these are slightly lower output than most Tri-sonic variants on the market.  Also note that vintage spec includes lighter than normal potting; in particular, the middle pickup can be microphonic in some high-volume situations.  (OTOH, it took me almost 12 years to discover that, so unless you regularly play at stadium volumes, you may never run onto that issue.)
