They in the past had a couple pickups they were pretty good but none really excited me until now. Two of the new designs in particular i am REALLY loving. Both medium output A2 designs which is some thing I have never seen them do until now. First is the Beryllium line both the singles and the humbuckers. Really sweet and smooth closest this in Duncans would be the Slash set. In reality like these better. Absolutely despised the Lithium set that came in my new DC 600. Shrill harsh and absolutely would not clean up with touch and the guitar volume like I wanted. So I had to find some replacements but with the direct mounts it was a little challenging to get the right look and fit with aftermarket pickups. I had been intrigued with the clips I had heard with the Beryllium sets so started looking for a used set. While looking for them found a pair of the new Marks A2 singles with a Beryllium bridge dirt cheap so snagged that also. Dropped the Beryllium set first in the DC 600 and was floored at just how good they sounded. So next swapped the Perpetual Burn and AP11 set in my Kiesel DC 135 for the Marks singles and the Beryllium bridge. Have played both set ups out now a few times so the honeymoon is over. REALLY liking these pickups and for the first time ever am really blown away by a set of Carvin Kiesel pickups.
The Marks singles are like a cross between my Surfer !!'s and a set of Texas Hots really sweet and glassy but also have some real attitude with gain. Not just good but great sounding set and the Beryllium in the bridge is a great match. Here is a cool Kiesel jam with a couple plays running these pickups. the pink Delos Stel is playing has the same Mrks Single Beryllium set as my DC 135 and the black Solo Flanders is playing has the Beryllium set my DC 600 has.
