Sound
:
No Opinion
Perceived output level: Enough to give grandma's ferret a stroke.
Tone: Bassy the bridge, VERY Bassy on the neck
Sonic evaluation: Right now I'm using a Crate GX30M Overdrive/Chours as my head, coupled to a Peavy Keyboard 15 incher for sound. I've used it on alot of diffrent amps though, such as the Marshall VS100RH.
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: I play death metal, the only reason I don't like the neck pickup, is because its to high output for my amp, and it causes the compressor to compress most of the low end... Thats alot of punch!

Comments: Well, I got this $1,300 guitar for $200... I'm not complaining. The pickups alone are worth at least $200. The bridge pickup does some serious death metal damage. The neck pickup is great for rhythm, but the only problem is it is so high level output it causes about a 30% boost over the low end, which causes compression on my Peavy amp. The pickups are about 50% more output than a stratocaster or a telecaster, I can say that from experience. Overall, they are great pickups on a tube amp or tube emulation with hardcore overdrive/distortion.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: not suitable for blues, not for jazz at all. maybe suitable for acoustic guitar style rithms if used with the bridge pickup

Comments: I would never buy this pickup.
Does not show the same characteristics on all strings.
E string is thin, G string sounds like a bit middle range.
