Pickup features: Humbucking.
Impedence or other specs:

Model of guitar or bass: Gibson LP Custom Heritage
Position: neck
Pickup being replaced: Stock.
Other pickups on guitar: Stock.
Artists using this pickup: ?
You musical style(s): Christian rock, jazz, rock.
Reason for pickup change: Stock was muddy. I tried to get my repair man to replace the pu but he did not want to touch this work of art. My son changed it for me.

Perceived output level: The output is a little less than the stock, but not much. The PU is placed close to the strings and the stock sat much lower to try to avoid the muddy sound.
Tone: Middy tone.
Sonic evaluation: I use this guitar with a Fender amp. I have used the guitar with Crate amps as well. It always sounded muddy and muffled. I could not cut through with the stock pu. I use Boss pedals except for MRX chorus.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: H$ in the neck, H4A in the bridge.

Comments: I have played for many years. I stopped playing this guitar two years ago because of the sound problem and just practiced with it. However, after the new PU I have been using it again. It sounds great in this guitar with a Fender amp run through the bright side. Real jazz sound now. Very clean and not muddy. I would use this again. I am putting an EMG H4A in the bridge when it comes in. Set the pickup near the strings to pick up the subtle tone and picking..works great. I have SD pu in my PRS and that sounds great in that guitar. I have Dimarzio's in my Fender strat. They sound exceptional in that guitar as well. They just all sound different. Used in the right guitar with the right amp, each sounds good.
