This pickup was very surprising.
I used it in middle position, with JB and SH, but sound this pickup produces is so good, I'm starting to use it more and more on its own.
I own Fender starts with alnico magnets, but after putting this pup in mahogany body Ibanez s470, I was very positively suppressed, and result is awesome.
No hum, and although labeled as vintage output, I've found it very good match for JB and SH.
Recommended for sure.
