Got these things a while ago. They're excellent pickups but they're high output monsters - full of harmonics and thunk/crunch, and incredibly dynamic. You can hear clips and see specs at Rio Grande's website at www.riograndepickups.com - they sound awesome, but they're just a bit too hot for me and my music, so I'm swapping them out for a Custom5/59n. If you have either of these in nickel covers (the Custom 5 needs to be a trembucker) I'd be perfectly willing to do a partial trade or straight swap if you have both.
List on these is $250 for the set with nickel covers - I bought mine for $228. Will sell for $180 + shipping OBO - if my price seems high, hit me up with an offer and I'll see what I can do for you.
Also, just a disclaimer - one of them has a slight gap between the cover and the baseplate. I was a bit worried about this at first, but after playing with them installed for quite a while I can safely say that it's just a cosmetic issue at all, and is 100% unnoticeable with the pickups installed - no microphonics or other problems.
