If you only get one, you'll probably regret it more than if you get four.

These's no question that this is true. I'll get killed if I spend $500 on the same pickup so there'll be no opportunity for regrets.
I just wish there was an opportunity to order more for -say- one week after you receive the original order.

Yeah, but it took a few days. Most likely because of demand.

I couldn't pass it up I ordered 4...
at least I will have an awesome neck pickup sound. I did buy a 12k bridge staple so maybe it sounds decent for higher gain stuff, if not then it was an experiment worth taking.

So here is what happened.
Thingie is too deep for the neck cavity of the LPC I wanted to put it in, and by far. I would never have thought that anything cannot fit a Les Paul's cavity, but the problem here is the depth in the middle, not where the legs are. This is bad since I ordered a black/gold one and this LPC is the only gold hardware guitar I have and I don't feel like taking the router to it.
I then decided to at least give it a spin by putting the neck Phat Staple into the bridge. It's very tight, in the photos it is sitting right on the wood and is still too high for optimal sound, but at least it lets the string play free.
Then I listened to it.
MUST HAVE.
This thing is mind-blowing. It is a bright sound that makes the '59 you see in the photos sound muffled and dull and dump, and a '59 is not exactly a slosh in the first place. There is an intense clarity here that I haven't heard anywhere. In clean it is a little comparable to my Antiquity I Telecaster, but the large Les Paul body (or something in the pickup) fills out the spectrum so that it sounds much more compact in crunch and distortion, not as fizzled out as a Fender pickup. No need for a treble booster, although I'm sure it will improve things even more.
So I'll route, but VERY CAREFULLY. I really don't want to tear this guitar up.
The only question remaining is whether I order one more (bridge black gold) or three more (another set in cream/chrome) before the deadline of midnight today.

uOpt, any sound clips? I'm curious how it will handle distortion. I have 8 hours to decide or forever hold my peace.

Allright, I ordered another one for the bridge. Managed to not spend the money on a second pair. Phew.
Only problem: now that Mr. ROAR (my LP Custom) is occupied with these I need another Les Paul Custom as a heavy-hitter
See how saving money works?
