This pup is amazing. Screams especially in drop D or C. But it also gets a nice clean tone when rolled off a little.

Estéticamente son bonitas, mi guitarra no es la más linda del mundo pero con pickguard negro casi desaparecen, pero respecto al sonido son bestiales, las conecté con split coil en una strato, con unas pastillas fender de 8 Kohm de salida en posición del medio el ruido desaparece como cualquier segunda posición, y en posición de puente da un sonido bastante vintage en sigle coil, y en humbucker son el monstruo que prometen ser, suena tan pesado que es dificil encontrar el punto para evitar tanto metal, respecto a la grabación con las pastillas que le tengo en puente medio y mastil suenan bien y equilibradas en todas las posiciones (tengo dos single con 8Kohms aprox), pero la ganancia se lleva cualquier cosa que conozca, no llega a las 16 K que promete en la página pero en sonido lo cumple a cabalidad, en reducción de tono y volumen se puede obtener un sonido más tradicional.

Cleans sound good and articulate. Distortion is definitely shred worthy. In my opinion, in standard tuning this pickup walks a line of almost too shrill, piercing highs but in drop or lower tunings it sounds perfect and I think that’s what this pickup is really designed for.

Replaced the bridge pickup in my bc rich beast and holy satan, this thing chugs. Also makes it way too easy to pinch harmonic. Love it.

When I received the pickup it was in its original case, but it had been opened and the “resealed” (very poorly I might add) with packing tape, I pulled the pickup out of the case, there were scratches on the mounting plate, i then noticed that the coils were bent off of center.Needless to say I was pretty disappointed, but I pressed on as I was still excited to install it in one of my guitars. Wired it as per Seymour Duncan instructions in place of my bridge pickup on a 5way switch….sounds line garbage, wire it only in the bridge positition…. Sounds like garbage, wire it straight off the volume pot…. Sounds like garbage…. Replace the volume pot annnnnnnd still sounds like trash, the rear most coil had low output and was thin and weak, leading me to believe this was a “refurbished” return being peddled as a new pickup along with the aforementioned shorty reseal on the packaging.Needless to say I contacted Amazon to do a replacement and the the seller doesn’t have a replace option, and the return option is taken care of by Amazon, go figure you can’t get ahold of the seller, probly know the junk their peddling doesn’t work.
