My only hesitation is will these be "fast" enough or "tight" enough to hold up on fast picked things and or chugs without meshing the notes together and becoming blurry. They sound great with a tad bit of space to breathe between notes. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try them. Side note...I wonder how they would sound in a 335? I need to swap the stock pickups I have in mine. Maybe they would be a good option for that?The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

I had a Wilde humbucker that used Alnico III and it was a killer sounding pickup. It wasn't mushy or unresponsive at all. It sounded incredible. I am glad to see there are some humbuckers being made with it. These particular humbuckers sound incredible the way he is playing them too!

Two of my favorite humbuckers are low wind A3s from Rewind and Zhangbucker.
I wouldn't expect big chug from an A3 pickup, though - IMO vintagey attack is part of their charm.
A3 mostly might feel tighter than A2, but I think a lot of that is just because it's leaner in the lows.
Of course when it comes to tone and feel, reality often laughs in the face of generalizations like that.

But i can imagine them sounding GOOD in an ES-335.Formerly known as; SirJackdeFuzz (7400+ posts)

A3 is underrated for sure. I use that in the bridge 59 in one of my guitars and it gets rid of the harshness and eep scoop the 59 can have in that guitar.
A3 telecaster pickups are pretty awesome too. Fender Nocaster set for example.Playing:
Thorn, PRS and Kauer Guitars
Marshall, Greer amps, Metroamp Home Builds
Duncan Favorites: SM3, 59's, Sat Night Specials....
Scumback Speakers, V Picks and various other sundries
