I have to say they are no where near as bright as everyone seems to say they are. Very nicely balanced pickups. The neck pup at first was a little woofy in the bass but i lowered it and it sounds alot better, i've noticed an increase in sustain which is good. The pickups seem to "breath" more...

The tone is fantastic, as others have described, it has a very organic tone, bright but warm and balances perfectly in this mahogany guitar. Compared to the custom i had before, there aren't as much lows, and it is not as "in your face" sounding as the custom. The custom is really fun for...

And its defintetly staying in there, it sounds awesome, thicker than the ssl-1 that was in the bridge position but the notch position 4 sounds even better now, a little bit thicker and and still remains clucky. This pickup is not too nasally in the mids, but sounds balanced the cleans arent to...

Hi I have a tele with humbucker in the neck and single coil bridge, i have 1 tone and 1 volume knob, but i want the neck bucker to have more treble and changing to a 500k pot. Doing this tho it will make the bridge single coil sound alot brighter. Is there a way i can wire this guitar so that...

Hi there i currently have a alder/maple ESP ron wood tele with a phat cat in the neck, as time has gone by my preference is more after a true single coil tone that isn't as fat/muddy sounding as a phat cat but has a very good vintage correct tele neck or strat like single coil sound. Plenty of...
