Considerably better output and works super through my carvin 212 belair (loaded with celestions. My effects are a Big Muff, wasabi overdrive, dano echo, tuna melt tremolo and a dunlop wah. The tone is very round, meaning you get the snap of the bridge pickup but get TONS more. VERY musical sounding. The neck pickup is smooth as butter with none of the lousy mud always associated with a tele pickup. Works pretty well for what I play. I play in a classic rock/top 40 band and I feel they are a great match for me, just what the doctor ordered. I'm one of those people who uses all the switches on my stuff, and I've been pleased, but that's always a matter of opinion.

If it was lost or stolen I would definatly buy again. I've been playing guitar for 28 years and have a carvin belair loaded with celestions a wasabi overdrive, tuna melt tremolo, dano echo and a wah. Pickups are a very tough thing to try to explain because what one person may think is like the voice of God, someone else might think it sounds awful. All I can say is all of my transactions with this company have been good. If I had to compare this pickup with another, I'd say it reminds me of my carvin dual coil pickup I had loaded in a Godin. This seems to have everythingI'll ever need in capturing THAT tone I've been hearing in my head.
