Feature:
mine have four conductor. supposedly this pickup sounds good as a single coil too. never tried

Quality:
my fave

Value:
I have to have one in every guitar, so I guess I will pay for it!

Sound:
These pickups have a defining mid-range bump. It focuses the tone a bit and provides clarity through distortion. Even through high gain stuff. The thing about it though that makes me put this pick up in every guitar I end up owning, is that it still sounds brilliant clean! Other pickups I have tried, like duncan distortion, is not so nice clean and actually too peaky midrangy for me.

Ease of Use:
lovely

great pickup! if you want to sound great and different from the seymour crowd, this is it! it good for just about anything overdriven. its kind of twangy on clean but thats good at times and besides you have the neck pickup for that!

Awsome pickups, especially when used with high output ams, and high gain distortion effects units. super sustain and ultra clear tones. The bottom end is no problem with this pickup either. If you play shred metal,modern heavy sludge, or new age grunge type riffs and love a solid lead screamer, this pickup is for you!

Feature:
With an on/on/on 3-way switch you can have 2-coil parrallel,single coil and 2-coil series. Or an on/off/on switch you get coil-1,2-coil series and coil-2.

Quality:
Had mine for years without a problem.

Sound:
Thick and chunky!!!! I love to rattle the walls and shake the windiws.

Overall:
I see a lot of people complaining about it being too muddy. It's not the pickup, it's the volume control. The more you turn it down the muddier it'll get. Put in a 1 meg volume pot or stick a .001 capacitor between the input and the output tabs of your volume control. You can find them at any radio shack. Then it will stay bright and sharp as you turn the volume down. see www.guitarelectronics.com or TURN DOWN THE BASS ON YOUR AMP!!!!!

I find this pickup to be too buzzy personally and too muddy.. It's almost ok, but it seems like I'm missing something with it.. I'm playing it thru a Ibanez PGM30 guitar .. Basswood body guitar made in japan, with the trem blocked.. It has enough drive and sustain, etc, but it just seems to lack something..
