Artists using this pickup: Me and that's all that matters

Sound
:
No Opinion
Perceived output level: way better than stock
Tone: better than stock
Sonic evaluation: I'm running this guitar through a 1989 Peavey Stereo Chorus amp and a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal. This sounds amazing to my ears.
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: it's pretty good for 80's and 90s rock
Overall Rating
:
10
Comments: My overall rating of this pickup along with anything Carvin sells is a 10. I had a Sc90s guitar a couple years ago and I loved it but had to sell it because of bills and whatnot. In addition to my strat, I also have a Samick Les Paul copy with a Carvin M22SD pickup that sounds amazing. But the Samick spends most of it's time in its case since I got this strat. If any of my gguitars were lost or stolen I'd buy a strat and a LP copy and put Carvin pickups in it.
