I don't know of any
Needed more output from the bridge, the oversize F-holes cause too much sustain loss
Sound

output is good, balances the Dearmond well, seems to be equal output wise
modified '71 Traynor Bassmaster and a stock Fender Hotrod Deluxe
Tone is middy-balanced, AC/DC brightness, but with Thorogood warmth
rock and alternative stuff, This pickup fits the bill.
should suit all positions well
Overall Rating
:
10
I would definately buy these again
been playing 10 years, so I am still a beginner. I own another Gretsch Electromatic 5125
Love the hotter output, the filtertron tone, and the price. Might be a bit feedbacky at stage volumes, but that is a hollowbody thing anyway
Read reviews of other pickups on this site, decided the price was worth a try
