Sound
Perceived output level: bridge - loudest ive ever heard neck - fairly typical vintage h/b
Tone: bridge - an extremely well defined growl that sounds like its trying to kill your amp neck pickup is complete opposite- very bright almost single coil style sond
Sonic evaluation: custom built 7 string thru marshall jcm900 with the custom pickup setup i can go from ultra clean neck tones to maniac distortion thru the bridge pickup but a quick turn of the vol knob gives an awesome crunch tone both pickups just sound way more "defined" than any other pickups i have heard (its hard to explain in writing)but they sound shit hot!
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable:
Overall Rating
Comments: there are not many companies around that will make a pair of custom pickups to your spec and get them to you within a couple of weeks
and the quality of tone is just a cut above any other pickup i have heard
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 10 Fantastic value
