Hot. Even when I play through my crappy Peavey Special 150 DIRECT, people accuse me of having Marshall guts in a Peavey cnatainer. The tone is strat strat strat with plenty of high sparkle and output galore! Gotta be one of the best, if not THE best single coil replacement pup on earth. NO HUM!! NONE!

Comments: If I could find them so cheaply again I would fit them again. I would try Lace sensors if I couldnt. These pickups were great to install I only had to solder two points!

Sound

No Opinion
Perceived output level: For those of you who said the Duncan Invader was loud, you might think about putting this little thing in place of your invader and get ready to cry when you see how much louder this puny little single coil pickup is in comparison to your tone sucking invader hunk of crap!
Tone: Dead on strat tone 1000 times better

Comments: I'd defintiely get another one. Wouldn't even think twice. I don't know how to describe EMG pickups. They make any amp sound like the amp you wish you always had.
