B&G Zebra pickups from a PRS, any info??

[ChickenFingers]

I just bought 2 zebra humbuckers from a PRS SE guitar, they say G&B on the back of them, did some research but didn't find out too much on them, anyone know anything about them? The guy that I bought them from said they were really high output, too much in fact so he replaced them with a '59 and a jazz.

Well they should sound good hopefully, they are out of a PRS SE custom and this is what guitar world had to say about the pickups:

The SE Custom’s pickups are unique and astoundingly responsive. Through my modified Mesa and Marshall, they were extremely sensitive to pick harmonics and full of usable presence. Their brilliant attack, screaming highs and intense dazzle are unequaled by any other PRS pickup. When I knocked the gain down on my amps, the SE Custom’s hot magnets got me closer to an authentic brown crunch than any of the U.S.-built Customs that I’ve played in the past. I found the clean sounds, especially using the neck pickup, to be mellow and satisfying, but not so dramatic as the Custom’s driven tones. - GuitarWorld

G&B is a pickup company owned and operated by one of the large Korean guitar factories (not, incidentally, the factory that makes the PRS SE guitars).

They're similar to Duncan Designed and GFS pickups.

I love, love, love those pups, but my SE Custom was cursed with a total inability to stay in tune despite my best efforts and $$ into repais.

I may swing for a SE Single cut-same pups, but all black bobbins.
