Excellent Buy if You're Looking for Smooth Sound without Spiky Highs

I'm a huge fan of blues and blues rock, particularly the tight bass, low treble sort of thing. Hendrix on songs like "The Wind Cries Mary" or "Castles in the Sand" comes to mind. I'm also a huge fan of Robin Trower, and of course, SRV (who isn't?) and of course other blues greats. Not that these guys always played this way, but my favorite recordings mostly feature those milder highs and heavier lows. These pickups (the True Velvet series) deliver that kind of sound by the ton. When cranked, they remain mostly free of screechy high end but deliver oodles of sustain. What's not to like?

True Velvet (middle)

I've heard about this fantastic single coil p/u for some time now and I've learned to respect the DiMarzio band as a top notch quality pick,
I cast about for a single coil to put into the rebirth of a tired o'l RG in an HSH setup. I went all DiMarzio's and what GREAT sounds this puts out!!!
I am partial to the single coil sounds and this True Velvet produces one of the best sounds/tones that I've heard. This pick up is well worth checking out!

It is a must have!!!!

I do a lot of guitar mods and builds. I have put the True Velvet in about 15 different guitars and it alway does the job. I put it in the the and the middle of most all my guitars. From Country to rock and yes even extreme metal, every person I have put this pickup in there guitar they are floored by the tone. Put one in and hear it for yourself you will not be sorry.

Excellently affordable

I purchased an entire set of True Velvet pickups, and they actually are, well, velvety. They are smooth and musical, and are ready to cover a lot of musical ground. I do all my pickup tests the same way; by installing them in my Player Series Strat with an upgraded Mojotone wiring harness, and plugging straight into my Deluxe Reverb reissue. I primarily play clean, so that's a great setup for me, but even if you tend to use lots of effects or different gains, it's always best to hear the pickups clean in my opinion. I don't believe in gear hierarchies, so I'm not going to make any comparisons here. Simply put, these are yet another great option to have in your single coil arsenal, and at that price point there's hardly any reason to not give them a chance.
