"CLARITY FORWARD WITH OUTSTANDING ARTICULATION FROM ALL POSITIONS, ALL WHILE DELIVERING APPEALING DEPTH, BODY, AND HARMONIC SWEETNESS."
“The Sunbears are a great repro-PAF set that reminds us how many of the good vintage originals preface their juicy, plummy core with a lively, slicing attack that makes for attention-getting soloing.” David Hunter - Guitar Player Magazine
“SUNBEAR’S ARE AMONG THE BEST WE’VE HEARD”
“As PAF Replica go, Sunbear’s are among the very best we’ve heard, and the bridge unit successfully captures the Hurricane’s sonic character. It’s bright, clear, aggressive and very touch sensitive. If you are a fan of cocked-wah midrange quack, harmonic bloom, and the open-throated roar of vintage style humbuckers, you’ll find plenty to love here.”
“BUCKETLOADS OF FILTER’TRON FLAVOUR”
"The Sunbear’s (BearTron Standard) have bucketloads of Filter’Tron flavour and absolutely nail the phasey midrange character. The bridge has a wonderfully vintage quack and the neck has a pleasing sheen with no lack of clarity. Output levels are strong but they’re not too powerful, and there’s no sense that compromises have been made to achieve such a healthy output.This refined set is warmer and smoother than most but doesn’t have quite as much chime or the Telecaster-type wiriness of some of its competitors. There’s a full and almost plummy character to the low mids and the output level, combined with the non-scooped midrange and total absence of grit, would make these ideal for jazzy cleans and overdriven rock alike."

“EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FIRST CLASS”
“Just fitted my first set of Sunbear pickups. From my first enquiry to Stuart to the sound of the fitted items everything has been first class. Packaging , build quality and most importantly tone are all top drawer. I can’t recommend Stuart and his company highly enough .. if you need some A grade pickups do yourself a favour and drop him a message.” Professional Guitar Tutor Graig Garwood’s comments on the 59 Sweet Transition HSS set
