Anderson HN3

humbucking,passive,speca ;i am not sure of the inpedance because they don't list that information.fairly hot

I put it in a charvel model four,switching it from the active mid boost system to the passsive HN3.The pickup is installed in the bridge position.Jackson J50BC.Two SD2+ single coils.Vivian Cambell of Def Leppard.I just wanted a better sound and more versatilaty.

The output is petty hot,yet it is dead quiet and very articulate.I use a Mesa Boogie Dual Recto triple channel.Boss ch1,Boss dd6,digitech x-series,phaser,flanger,digiverb.MXR super comp.I play everthing from classic rock to speed metal.I even do some country.It is excellent for rock and metal of all kinds.I might be to hot for the a neck position

I would buy it again,I been playing for 25 years plus.I own a Berringer Vampire comb'gnx3,Gibson Les paul,Martin hd28. They are very well balanced, quiet, powerfull, harmonics are good, good base response, upper mid range and all tonal seem to be clear and articulate. I compaired to most major pick-up makers like Duncan, Dimarzio. I chose these ones because of the larger pull peaces. I felt it would give better string distribution. I wish it had color variations, zebra coils, and crome or gold covers for Les Paul type. Very satisified, and like one of the other reviewers said, possibly one of the best pickups on the market with the exception of Bareknuckle pickups, which I may put in my Les Paul. The price also makes for a great value, and I will be using them in other guitars. The hn3+ is the pickup I might try in my Les Paul if I can't get the Bareknucle pickups. I was about ready to trade or get a rid of my Dual Recto until I tried the Anderson pickups thru the amp. The difference is mind blowing.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Rock. This pickup works well for fast picked playing.

Comments: This pickup is an improved upon Full Shred. It has a less sterile high end and is punchier in the mids and bass. It is fast responding and articulate. It's sound is not typical of the other pickups in the Anderson line. It's a bit more focused and has tighter mids.
