It's pretty close to what I expected. I'm not very good as describing tone so I'll keep it simple...
It'a a little hotter than I expected, especially considering the degaussed mag. Lots of power and punch. Just a little on the dark side (had to turn some knobs on my rig to get it where I like it). Big single notes. Complex sounding (as I'm guessing most scatterwound pickups are). Good string separation. Doesn't have as much midrange honk as a true PAF, but maintains some of the character and clarity. I'm going to get lambasted for this, but at one point I suggested slightly colder wind to maintain a tone closer to the PAF thing...I was immediately shut down. No love lost, this is a great pickup and I think Duncan was great to do this. By voting on specs price was kept way down...very cool.
If you have a hybrid I'll say this is darker, more powerful sounding (particularly in the lows, something I found lacking in the hybrid), fewer harmonics, slightly more complex.

Why would we want it to sound exactly like a PAF? We already have that sound in 6 other production pups

Seriously, did these all ship last thursday? I need to know when to speak up if things don't arrive.

This concerned me once the specs were finallized. And was why I had hoped for a vote to the full strength A5 with that kind of overwind. The only guitar I have to put it in right now, won't be seeing it then as it's dark enough as is. Grrrr.
Considering the overwind..I'm surprised it lacks mids..or do you mean just "nasaly" qualities vs. actual Mids in the EQ curve?
Do you mean pinch harmonics? (i.e. ease of getting them?)

Dark is a relative term. I will reserve judgement until I get to hear mine.

Wasn't intended to be a judgement, just a figure of speech in a general statement. It really is relative in terms of what people like in terms of tone.
Actually dark would be a very good thing for my application.

My Brobucker is here! I won`t be installing it right away as I might even get another Strat to put it in. I ordered the tremspace Brobucker but there`s nothing noted on the box or pickup that it`s tremspaced so I`ll assume that it is. Thanks to everyone that made this happen!
