GFS Pickups Dream 180

Pickup features: Passive humbucker
Impedence or other specs: ?

Model of guitar or bass: Schecter C-1+FR
Position: all positions
Pickup being replaced: Stock
Other pickups on guitar: same
Artists using this pickup: Me
You musical style(s): hard rock/metal
Reason for pickup change: Bridge PUP shorted out.

Perceived output level: Not terribly hot. Actually, it sounds great clean, and needs a boost to send a tube amp into overdrive. Not a bad thing
Tone: The most balanced pickups I've ever tried. Basically just what I was looking for. The bridge is lacking some bass response, but it still sounds great
Sonic evaluation: I play through fender amps and other vintage tube amps. The Peavey Supreme, which will be my next purchase, sounds great with this. I really like the balance.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Hard rock/metal

Comments: I would definately buy these again. They really helped in finding the tone I wanted. I would say they could use more output, but the tone makes up for it

Pickup features: Humbucking - PAF / Filtertron cross.
Impedence or other specs:

Model of guitar or bass: Ibanez AF75D
Position: all positions
Pickup being replaced: Stock
Other pickups on guitar:
Artists using this pickup:
You musical style(s): Jazz, roots, etc.
Reason for pickup change: Wanted a clear, brighter pickup

Perceived output level: Definitely hotter than stock.
Tone: Bright, but balanced.
Sonic evaluation: These pickups sound great. Very quiet. This pickup fixes the problem with a PAF style humbucker - lousy highs. The pickup has great highs, but is not harsh.
I'm using this guitar with a Mesa Heartbreaker.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Great for Jazz, rock, rockabilly.

Comments: Been playing for 30 years I own a Gibson Country Gentleman, Gretsch 6120, strats, tele, Les Paul, etc. All great guitars but this cheap Ibanez plays great but sounded bad. With the Dream 180's it sounds great. At a price that's appropriate for a $300 guitar.
This pickup is similar to the pickups on the Chet Atkins designed pickups on the Gibson Country Gentleman (the Filtertron was designed for Chet also). It has the range of a PAF but some twang and very clean.

Pickup features: Humbucking, passive
Impedence or other specs:

Model of guitar or bass: Sanatoga (PRS Knockoff)
Position: all positions
Pickup being replaced: Cheap Chinese PU
Other pickups on guitar:
Artists using this pickup:
You musical style(s): All Styles
Reason for pickup change: Wanted a different sound. Actually, the original Ppups sound the same as these.

Perceived output level: The same out put as my Yamaha SA2000 humuckers, much less than my Steinberger EMG 85's
Tone: Balanced tone
Sonic evaluation: I am using a roland GP100 through a peavy stereo chorus 400 running a seperate cabinet for stereo imagery. I bought these becuase they were advertised as PAF meets Filtertron which sounded kinda cool. They were also advertised as extremely hot. They sound like standard humbuckers and are not hot at all. They aren't bad, mind you, just nothing to write home about.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable:

Comments: Would I buy them again? Probably not. although I will say they look really cool. Gold hardware with mother of pearl centers.
