Comments: I bought P-90's and his PAF humbuckers. Look for the P90 review separately. After my guitar tech installed them, the neck was fine but the bridge was dead. After buying Strat and Tele pickups there was a communication that was responsive and detailed which was great. But wait until you have problems with them. Duff takes his time in responding back and really doesn't want to deal with your problems. I told him that after all the pickups I bought from him and this is what I get? I was planning on sending the pickups back to him and not dealing with the hassle of a refund just to tell him "stick it" but found Dave at SD Pickups who was willing to salvage the bridge pickup. He inspected it and said Duff was using cheap materials causing it to possibly short out. I'll be sending Dave my neck pickup as well, even though it works, replacing all the cheap materials Duff used with better quality materials. Needless to say, I will never, ever be purchasing pickups from OC Duff any more. Also a note, like his P-90's, making humbuckers are new to him so you'll probably be his guinea pig like I was. BEWARE AND LOOK ELSEWHERE!
