Features
:
Slightly hot PAF style humbucker. I chose vintage 2-conductor wiring and satin nickel cover.
Instrument
:
I replaced the stock bridge p/u in my Traveler MkII. It was OK, but generic sounding.
Sound
:
10
Output is slightly hot, but not crazy, over the top. Tone is warm but not wooly, and clear but not strident. Very good note-to-note definition, even when overdriven. I've tried it through small solid-state combos and fairly large (50 Watt) tube amps, and sounds fine whatever. Works well with pedals, too.
Overall Rating

I would replace this p/u again in a heartbeat if I needed to. I've been playing Folk, Rock, Blues, and Country for 30+ years, and have owned dozens of different guitars, usually modifying them with after market p/u's. There is an elusive quality to the tone that makes me smile, and it's changed a usable instrument into an inspiring one.
