Sound
:
10
Very nice output... not too hot but not to weak either... for me its right where it should be. Its slightly higher output (compared to a standard tele) still cleans up nicely by rolling off the volume.
I play rock (think Queen means Queens of the Stone Age) and this suits my personal style very nicely. I don't use this guitar on every song but its definitely the first guitar I grab when I am writing or can only take one guitar to a gig.
Overall Rating
:
No Opinion
I have used Fenders, Duncans and DiMarzios and I don't like them at all... They are overpriced and sound horrible. I actually bought this pickup because I wasn't happy with the Highway 1 pickup and I wanted something a touch hotter and didn't want to deal with hum. I was skeptical because I had heard mixed reviews about "rails" style pickups... I would immediately replace if it were lost or stolen.
