Incredible sustain and a fat, full sound.

Feature:
There are really no accesories or features of this pickup, except for the fact that this pickup kicks @$$!
Quality:
Well, it fit perfectly in the opening already in my pickguard. I would've just gotten a regular humbucker, but imad my own pickguard out of diamond-plated aluminum, and i didn't want 2 screw it up. I have owned for about 6 months now, and when go 'on the road', i don't use anything bu the guiar with this pickup in it. I love it! It seems as though it will last a really long time (if not forever!).
Value:
Definately worth the money!
Desirability:
I really like he way it looks. I have the traditonal white pickup covers on my other two single coils, but i decided to go with the black one, to give it a custom look, and it looks great!
Sound:
It's got a nice, full tone, but if you roll back the bass, you can get a good shredding, vai-esque tone. The sound is great! It's exactly what i needed to shred like crazy, but still be able to play twangy stuff w/ my strat. I use a lot of gain and compression when i play, and w/ my single coils, i gt nasty feedback. With this pickup, its just like a humbucker, only hotter than the rest of the 'buckers i own. just run it through a PODxt (line6), and straight into my computer for recording, and straight into a marshall stack when i play live. It sounds wonderful in both scenarios. I reccomend it to anyone who is fed up w/ single coils not being 'saturated' enough.
Support:
I haven't had to deal w/ the company yet, but i guess that's a good thing
Overall:
As of now, i won't play through any other pickup, i like this one so much! I don't think it will wear out (any time soon), but if it does, i guss that means i'll have to get another one. If someone stole this, i would definately buy the same thing again!

Feature:
well it is just the pickup and some schematics
Quality:
as long as you install it properly, you shouldn't ever have a problem
Value:
i'd buy it again, as many times as it was stolen
Desirability:
it effin rocks, cause i loooovve the artifical harmonic and i had no idea what i was buyin at the time but i sure got lucky, cause
Sound:
it really is great, especially if you dig harmonics.
Ease of Use:
easily easily goes right into to strat, and easy to install.flip it to the bridge and it is truly insane you can get every harmonic you'd possibly want, i mean i jus bought my baby, a les paul and got EMG 81's and 85's in it cause i'm a wylde fan, but i gan't get nearly the same pinches as i could ever get on the LP.
Support:
ii've had this pickup in my strat for well over a year and it has never acted up at all. EVER
Overall:
for quite a whil till the guitar breaks, haha
