Output is awesome. Just what I was looking for.
Using it with my homebrew amp setup - Princeton/Marshall. Both
amps have 2x12s.
Tone is great. This is a great pickup for the pinch harmonics.
Seems to mate well with the Mean 90 I left in the neck. Although I in the near future, I am sure I will swap in another crome top GFS PAT of some type. Still, the 90 is nice, because you can get the sorta-single coil tone and feel going, and then switch back to the humbucker at the bridge. I may keep it like this.

I would replace it again, same model. This PRS SE is my second SE. My other one has the GFS Boutique PAF in the bridge, and I love that setup as well.
Been playing 22 years.
I love the gain and output from the pickup. It is well-suited to metal and hard rock.
Did not compare it really. Although over the years I have used Tom Anderson humbuckers. I will admit the Andersons have a bit more clarity with the grunt. But for the money, GFS is the way to go.
I paid 20 bucks for this pickup.
