Sonic evaluation: Wow, I kind of don't want to get the word out on these, but the seller was a nice guy so I told him I'd give him some feedback here. I just bought it because it was cheap and sounded like a cool pickup, and ended up keeping it in my guitar (my own custom, lacewood body, koa top semi-hollow). I'm playing it through a Laney LC15 amp, and it sounds great. I might even like it better than the Fralin, not sure though. Maybe if I paid more for it I would think it was better like many people do here on harmonycentral. I hate it when people give good reviews just to justify their spending too much for crap. Anyway, nice pickup, great for the price.
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: already said
