Sound

The output level is REALLY low. It's way lower than any of the soapbar, single coil, or humbucker pups on any of my other guitars. It's basically unusable.
The tone is average. I didn't investigate this too much because the low volume makes it not an option for me.
A minor thing is the construction. The finish on the edges of the pup is rough. I usually rest my pink on that pup edge when playing, but since it's rough I can't do so with this pup.
I play classic and hard rock.

I wouldn't purchases a pup from this company again. First, the pup arrived >5 weeks after they told me they sent it. In that time I emailed them several times to get tracking info. They never responded (they were having email problems for a while, but I emailed both their old and new address).
After the pup arrived and I found the output to be too low I emailed them asking if there were any connection or pot changes I could make to increase the volume. Again, no reponse.
Theie website have no phone number on it, so you are basically taking your chances when buying from this vendor. Having no customer support is not an option.
