Great factory towhooks, Dremel-cut your bumper if needed
1 of 2 found this helpful Perfect original part, I didn't have the cutout bumper piece that looks tricky and time consuming to install, so I used a dremel tool flat disc cutter and cut right through my Tahoe LS 2018 bumper for a perfect , cheap mount. Now I can pull grandma's stuck car out of the snow! Attaching these to the chassis was easy and feels very strong and secure.

Why buy a soft case when these classic tweed cases are so well made, beautiful, and more protective? I got two- one for concert Uke, one for tenor, f

Thanks for the Legwork Andy Timmons!
Andy Timmons put together a beautifully compatible collection of pickups in this drop in unit! As an already big fan of Joe Barden twin- blade noiseless pickups, I like the Dimarzio version a lot in neck and middle positions, where I actually had a Barden and a Kinman, respectively. The right combination of warmth, cleans up with no loss of highs when you dial down the volume, and hotter than conventional “when you need it” and, importantly, hot enough to sound balanced with the great humbucker on bridge position, which handily splits to out of phase single coils in the second click of the 5 way switch.
Problems with the assembly? Two: first, my Fender California strat with a NAsh neck was not a fit for the assembly out of the box- I had to remove my neck, install the assembly, and Dremel to remove pickguard material to fit my neck.
Second: not crazy about the new wave 5 position switch which had bad contact, with noise, in several positions, and with a light lateral tug cuts the signal completely off in all positions- unlike old school switches, there is no way to tighten ( by bending) contacts. I sprayed it down with DeOxit, then Cailube MCL (by Craig) and , for now, it seems to work fine. I do have concerns about DiMarzio’s choice here and wish they would upgrade to a better 5 way switch.
In the end, I am very happy with the assembly, it has injected new life into my strat, which will be seeing a lot more playing time. The wiring is beautiful, with cloth wrapped wires, and the cap/resistor that was added to the volume pot do exactly what they are supposed to do, which is prevent the roll off of your brightness when you back off the volume. Turn these puppies down to 3 to 5 and you have clean, pristine warm tone, and if you listen to the incredible Andy Timmons, you will see that he makes full use of this feature, with clean tones and his “halo effect,” as he likes to call it after a pass through his pedals!
