I received an American Special recently and I first installed the YJM Furys. I like the neck pickup as it has a real fluid sound, but I still found the bridge pickup to be too thin in the treble strings. This is the problem I have encountered for awhile now.
I heard a guy on YouTube reviewing the Ritchie Blackmore Strat and that guitar comes with the Duncan Quarter Pounders. I loved the tone. It sounded thick, broad, and chunky.
So I decided to order a set and last night I installed them in my American Special. Wow! No more ice-pick in the bridge. They smooth out the treble considerably. When I play a power chord I get a nice big, broad sound without boominess or mud.
If you are looking for a broad, large single-coil tone that still bites without the usual shrill and thin bridge, the Quarter Pounders are an excellent choice.
