  • Sound on Sound Magazine (England) - November '98 (We compare DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pickups and Kinman AVn pickups)
    'Chris Kinman has finally nailed it (vintage tone noise free)... the Kinmans are the only choice... his AVn-T set is simply gorgeous.' ...for sheer authenticity and freedom from noise, the Kinmans are the clear winners.
  • Gitarre and Bass (Germany) - February '99
    'When you compare the price of the sets with that of other suppliers, the Kinmans, in spite of their technical superiority, seem almost like a special offer, and sound-wise, they are a head start on the rest.'
  • Hank Marvin
    'I had a dream that one day some genius would design a single coil pick-up with a Strat sound that worked quietly in any situation, my dream has come true.'
  • Rick Turner (USA) famous guitar maker and innovator ex Alembic, Gibson and now manufacturing his own guitars in Santa Cruz.
    'Sweet, toneful,and very quiet... I'd call these a triumph.'
