Ever hear of Haussel pickups?

[Travis]

Anyone here ever heard these? They come stock in the Nik Huber guitars, as well as other boutique instruments. http://www.nikhuber-guitars.com/startframeset.html

Anyone have any input?

You can find the local Häussel fan group at the Gitarre & Bass forum (in German though), because his PAF was part of the last humbucker review:

His web site is here:

I think I'm going to get a VIN/VIN+ pair. I've heard nothing but good things about them. But I was wondering if anyone around these parts had any real world experience with them.

Plus, I can't read German.

The review of the magazine "Gitarre & Bass" also had some samples where the Häussel was included, too:

Maybe you can find some English postings about them at TheGearPage or the Les Paul forum. I also translated the passage of the review about the Häussel for the Tokai forum:

Thanks a bunch for that. I went ahead and ordered a pair of the Haussels. If I don't like them I can send them back. But I'll post a review on here when I get them in.

Some samples would be nice, too, especially when comparing it to other pickups in the same guitar.
