Sound
Perceived output level: These pickups are medium output, the emphasis is more on tone than pre volume

Sonic evaluation: I am using a Cornford MK50 and a Hellcat. The pickups are great, they really sparkle with pure tone and give a really clear sounmd that picks out all your notes with real richness
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Good match for blues, jazz, rock n pop, maybe not heavy heavy metal!
