Love the pickup. Had one for a while and was running a PAF Joe in the neck with it. BIG warm round but still cuts and is not muddy. It how ever was so different from the other tones I had I went another direction. Had more to do with what I was playing than the pickup though. For a HUGE open brown sounding pickup it's a real KILLER! The PAF Pro is way to hot and muddy in the neck IMO it's a better medium output bridge pickup.. A PAF Joe would be a better choice in both output and tone with the GS IMO!
