Normally, I use a Seymour Duncan if I'm not happy with the pickups I've got in a guitar. I wouldn't normally have bought this so it was something of an experiment. Ii have to say I'm really pleased with this PU.
At first I had it wired series/parrallel and I didn't like it, it was just too bright. I changed it to coil split and the humbucker came to life. Fully overdriven it's got a beautifully clear searing lead tone, and a really beefy power chord sound. Much more aggressive than the gibson pickups in my Les Paul.
When split, the lead sound is clearer, brighter and very cutting. Excellent for clean rhythm parts.
I play in a covers band and we do play plenty of classic rock like Purple and Zep, and in contrast, we have a lot of dancy stuff like James Brown and Abba and Stax so I need the coil split.
The downside is a small one- I haven't got used to the tonal character of this pickup; although it's not a bad sound it's just different. When I hear it recorded it's great but when I'm actually playing live I hear an unusual quality in the tone.
I'd buy one again. It's probably the most sturdily constructed humbucker I've had. The brighter half of the zebra is much darker than I expected, I keep thinking I've got it dirty.
