I have PAF style pickups from the biggest and best... Throbak, Ellis, Holmes, and these pickups sound as good or better than any of them for half the price. I put them in a '61 reissue SG. They replaced a different high-end set that was too bright for my liking, and these have the perfect sound. Rich, creamy, warm, but not muddy! EXACTLY what I was looking for. Use VIPots, and a paper in oil capacitor with these pickups, and when you roll back the tone it's impossible to beat. Thank you Dave!!! I'm looking forward to my next set!!!
Super clear with wonderfully juicy harmonics when you dig in. Very reactive to your right hand. Just the right bit of grit. Killer with high gain, which is what I was hoping for when I ordered them. Metal needs real tone, too. Ordering more for other guitars.
I could play any pickups, many of them for free...I choose to pay full price for David's pickups. They simply are the best.
Like butter. Nice fat juicy PAF tones; the notes just bloom. The bridge matches nicely with the neck and the middle position has that spank as well.
These pickups are awesome! Put a Shep 60 P.A.F. as well as a Shep 90 into my Charvel and man do these pickups sing. Lots of harmonic content and sound smooth as butter. Love them!
