Sound

Perceived output level: About the same as stock El Crappos. Low-Medium output.
Tone: Very well balanced and sparkling clean, excellent definition, good sustain.
Sonic evaluation: Told u B4. Using an SRW solid state amp. Somewhat dissapointed. I thought I was getting a really hot bridge PU, but actually seems a bit lame to me, not hot at all. Not much bass, lots of mid and lows, more like a vintage sound.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Already told u all this stuff. It is a good match for the Mexican strat.

Overall Rating

Comments: If it were lost or stolen? You mean the guitar? Surely no one would steal the pickup off my strat, would they? I would not B 2 dissappointed, I would buy a Seymore Duncan instead. I had a Lone Star strat that sounded a lot better with the SD. I am still searching for a better sounding PU. I will put SD's in the neck and middle. The Andersonn is not nearly hot enuf 4 me, but it sounds slightly better than the El Crappo Fender stock PUs

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 7
