Anyone ever use these?

What do you think about them?

might be okay to rewire an Epi, it'd be a downgrade to a Gibson though.

Well I have an epi, but considering the price of these, I wondered if they would even be an upgrade to what I have right now. Maybe I will wait for my Epi parts to wear out and get some better ones.

I wonder that too. The Switchcraft toggle is a bit expensive ($25? maybe), but you can buy CTS pots for around $5 each. And decent caps don't cost much.

if your toggle is working fine, I'd say look at just pots and caps. Orange Drops are only a couple bucks apiece. So for around $25 or so, you can upgrade the pots and caps.

good idea the GFS stuff is solid enough and will work well but if you are not having any problem with the stock stuff leave it alone. and if and when you do get new stuff get the orange drop caps from them as well, if you do not need a switch , you could just get the alpha pots and orange drops.
