Overall Rating
:
2
Comments: Dissappointing: I do not "get" this pickup. Does not reproduce the natural sonics of an electric guitar that has rich harmonics and sustain even when played acoustically. I could not get a satisfying sound when played at low volume or overdriven (Fenders: 57 Champ, 61 Bassman, 69 Showman). Replaced with a Seymour Duncan (aka Zen Master Pickup God) custom-wound mini-HB.
