Sound

Perceived output level: high output but not mushy or sludgy like some hot pups can be
Tone: very balensed
Sonic evaluation: i play thru a marshall JTM45 an 4x12cab with greenbacks. no effects, just straight in an running flat out!! it sound amazing, loads of drive an dirt, it really pushes the amp hard,it can give a humbucker a run for its money!! but it still retains all the clarity that a single coil should have!! It has brought my guitar alive, it turned it in to the guitar that i dreamed it would be when i was making it!!!! sleazy, dirty, an loads of balls!!! However, it cleans upo beautifully, back the volume off an its a different guitar!! want that "london calling" sound? yeah it will do it!! Possible the best pick up ive ever used!!!

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: dirty rock'n'roll an it 's perfect!!! its a bridge pup! only put it in the neak if you are very brave!!

Overall Rating

Comments: I would by one again tomorrow!!! today in fact!!! Admittedly my telecaster is my number one guitar, (ive had the bidge pup rewound by bare knuckle to!!! awesome!!!) but now i have the most kick ass les paul jr in the world!!!

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