I used this pickup in a Gibson ES-335 and the tone is great!
PRO's:
+It's a balanced tone, not too bright or warm and still has a ton of clarity!
+It also balances great with the Thornbucker neck pickup or a Dimarzio dp103 (36 anniversary neck).
+The parallel function sounds amazing for a telesound!
+Build quality is amazing.
+Brushed nickel looks great and is transparant in tone.
CONS:
-It's expensive
-I want them in all my guitars now.
I would highly recommend this pickup if you want a great pickup with clarity/warmth and a great parallel function for a tele sound! The brushed nickel cover works great for a transparant cover and looks amazing too!
(If you really can't afford this pickup the closest pickup I've heard is a Dimarzio dp223. But the Thornbucker does have a natural tone that the Dimarzio doesn't nail 100%, It's a little more generic.)
