I’ve been playing guitar off/on since the early 90’s; I’ve tried/had different guitars from different manufacturers with different pickup configurations and these are, by far, my favorites. I, mainly, play music ranging from hard rock to thrash metal and these pickups more than get the job done. I have a set installed in my favorite Les Paul & another set in my RR1 and they do not disappoint as they gave a serious kick in the pants to both guitars. My LP, in particular, is probably the most versatile. Roll back some of the gain & you get nice, bluesy tones and if you go full throttle there’s all kinds of gain there for thrash & extreme metal styles. Tone-wise, they’re nicely well-balanced and help give you a big sound which will easily stand out in either a band or recording mix. Whether clean or heavily distorted, these pickups are warm and articulate so your playing, for better or worse (if your playing is sloppy) will be easily heard and decipherable. I’m now about to get a third set for an RR Pro I just got and can’t wait to get them in!
