Sonic evaluation: I got these originally to replace pickups in an old Kay; I decided to sell the Kay and instead had the pickups routed for a strat-style guitar. WOW! Full and deep, almost p-90 sound in the neck, great old-style teang in the bridge. Terrific in combination.
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: I play 60s rock type songs with a mix of open improvisation. These do everything - great for lead and rhythm.
Overall Rating

10
Comments: I would get more if lost or stolen - and Pete at Vintage Vibe is one of the nicest people I've ever dealt with in the business - honest and willing to try whatever the customer asks, if within reason. I cannot recommend him enough! I keep going back for more pickups -
