Guitarguy74 from Crossville, Tn, U.S.
Quality:
It's a Seymour Duncan. Need I say more?
Sound:
The tone is just amazing. It has great lows, just the right amount of mids, and enough treble to cut through, do effortless harmonic squeals, but not sound harsh. The top end is "sweet". A word to the wise, this pickup is transparent when it comes to playing fast, so your technique had better be up to task as it won't hide any slop in your playing.
Reliability:
Have had it in my guitar for ten years
Overall:
This pickup came stock in my Big Apple Strat. All I can say is that for me, there is no other pickup.
Playability and Feel:
n/a
Tone:
Bright but not harsh, great for heavy blues, rock, and metal. Output is medium, but with all the gain built in to amps these days, you really don't need terribly hot pickups.
Skill Level:
Pro-Rock Star

THIS IS A TONE MONSTER!!
Quality:
A highly reliable product that sounds great! Hasn't let me down yet--I had one of these installed in my Epi LP Honeyburst plustop, and it just makes my guitar SCREAM!!! Pick squeals sound reminiscent of BFG with this baby.
Reliability:
Had it for 2 years, and hasn't quit on me yet, and I don't expect it too.
Overall:
Ballsy biting tone, and blends well with the SD PAF in the neck position as well.
Playability and Feel:
I've played with both pickups on, adjusting vol/tone controls, and come up with some great sounds-- very versatile.
Tone:
Broad spectrum of tone -- ballsy, biting, warm
Finish:
Black coils look fantastic with the flame on my 'burst
Action:
Professionally installed by my buddy Alex at Marina Music. Those guys know their stuff, and don't charge an arm and a leg to install or adjust guitars.
Skill Level:
Intermediate
