Re: Incoming Ibanez day! (Damn you @Ascencion!!!)
I never really heard of them but they sound like they're good pick ups. How do they compare to a Duncan '59 which I have on my beloved Godin Belmont guitar? Are they reasonably priced?

My only experience with the 59 is a “little 59” I have in my Tele. I would assume it’s close enough to the full size version. In any case the 59 is a great pickup. It’s tough to make a direct comparison because the Fokin model pickup I use is wound a bit hotter. I would guess it’s probably closer to a Custom Custom (or something from the Custom family). And his neck pickup I use is similar to the AP2....which I absolutely love the sound of.
I’ve got his pickups in 4 guitars.
My LP Standard
LP Special with p90’s (he Custom wound a set to sound like the humbuckers I described above....no extra charge)
My Kramer Focus
And My MIM Strat (HSS)
The pickups are clear and focused with a lot of midrange bite focused on the low mids as opposed to he high mids like a JB.
The low end is tight but isn’t “metal tight”...certainly tighter than a JB. The highs are smooth and not piercing at all.
The prices are great....the set of p90’s shipped to my door from Moscow were $110. The humbuckers were just a little more.
He has a big lineup of pickups to choose from. Everything from Vintage to Metal, and like I said he wound those Custom p90’s at no extra charge for me.
