Another exciting day when these arrived in the post, they arrive wonderfully presented in a plastic box bearing aphoto of the man himself, I had these installed by my local tech guy , a qualified luthier into my 96 Korean epiphone les Paul standard ltd Edition in wine , they were installed with orange drop capacitors and cts pots with some vintage wiring.
They sound great , I play mainly crunchy Rhythm, guns n roses, aerosmith , Joan jet, la guns. I use a Marshall valvestate 8240 stereo or an avt 20 and they sound awesome, it is very easy to set up a crunch and lead tone, the lead tone is super creamy when used with the pickup switch in the rhythm position and it is not hard to get the sweet child tone.
I have also tried these with a joyo British sound amp/cab emulator, this pedal closely mimics the tech 21 British pedal and it can be used through a P.A, studio monitors or the fx return of an amp. In all cases it is just as easy to get a great tone as much as going through an amp conventionally , I am hoping to buy a tech 21 fly rig RK 5 off here soon and I can't wait to try my axe with these in it through that. I would recommend these pickups for playing classic rock through a les Paul type guitar any day, especially if you are a fan. I like them better than the JB and JN I had on another guitar, they seem to suit the type of style I mentioned better, ideal for hollywood, sunset boulevard style sleaze, faster pussycat, guns n roses, bullet boys, Aerosmith, ( well that's Boston but get the idea)
I am so pleased I got these . Now I just need to get my chops in shape.
