    Gianni, brightness is in the ear of the beholder. It's too bright if it makes you flinch a little bit when you hit that open G-Chord in my opinion.

    I had the DD in my Alder Jackson for awhile. I didn't think it was too bright. I thought it had great punch.

    Try it on for size, and play it for a few weeks.

      agreed.

      Sometimes I think my Alder MIM strat with maple fretbaord and 18 volt active pu is too bright, but 2 seconds later I'll love it, I think you will enjoy the DD.

        I my opinion too bright it is when a pickup it is bright and, if I don't like it, i can't find a eq setting that I like. Sometimes this bright pickups sound lifeless when you reduce the treble since that frecuencies are very important to their character. But, in the end, it is a matter of personal taste. I prefer eqilibrated guitar-pickup settings because they let you shape the tone more freely.
