Feature:
It has Aluminum,cobalt,and nickel magnets. I only wish it had a logo.

Quality:
These are handmade in the United States and are beautiful right out of the box. I have had it for months and they perform like new. No need for a backup of any kind.

Value:
This is worth every penny.

Desirability:
There is no way I could play without it.

Sound:
These are the best flippin' pickups EVER made. I bought these cause SLASH uses them. They play amazing and sound just like his Les Paul. They have a warm sound and they are punchy like hendrix but in a humbucker form. Great blues/classic rock pickup.

Ease of Use:
Schematic comes in the box. Easy to use and essemble. Can use on anything w/ humbuckers.

Support:
There is no waranty.

Overall:
I think i will use these pickups for years to come. Absolutely no others like it.

Feature:
It's a guitar pickup what features does it need .. It's Seymour Duncan ,the build quality is perfect ! and you do pay a little extra for perfection .

Quality:
Once again , it's a Seymour Duncan pickup .. top quality throughout their range of pickups .

Value:
I guess they cost slightly more than the 'other ' major brand of USA made pickups , but remember you get what you pay for ;-)

Desirability:
"sex appeal" LOL !! .. well i guess it's does sound sexy ( in the guitar ) in the right hands hahaha

Sound:
I put a bridge and neck AP2 in my Gibson Explorer replacing the insanely high output original pickups . I was looking for a more vintage and natural sounding pickup .. bingo ! hit the jackpot with these sweet sounding pickups , i got the ones with the gold covers . They really are awesome sounding and let the natural overtones of the guitar shine through , you can still crank the amp ( Marshall DSL 100 ) and get a very sweet sounding overdrive , those of you that are into hardcore thrash need not apply , but those who're into rock , classic rock , heavy rock etc this pickup is for you .

Ease of Use:
It's a guitar pickup , straight forward to install if you are confident with a soldering iron .

Support:
Can't comment , never had to contact the company .. so that's a good thing right there !

Overall:
I'll keep using this set of pickups in my Explorer for the life of the guitar , both the guitar and the pickups are a great match .

Quality:
The Product is as perfect as it can get

Value:
it gives a lot more performance compared to its price. Its perfect

Sound:
Feels like you are Slash APH-1 Alnico II Pro Humbucker(bridge) with EMS-81 Humbucker(neck) in A Gibson Les Paul - Now this makes you feel that you are a hybrid of Kirk Hammet & Slash The Sound is very expressive and warm and the best for playing all kinds of pithes. Another good combo- 2 Samarian Cobalt Noiseless single coil and an Alnico II Pro Humbucker in a Fender Stratocastor American Deluxe FMT HSS

Overall:
I wont get satisfaction with any other product. My signature sound is of this pickup in the bridge and a EMG 81 in the neck

"A must have"

Overall:: 10 out of 10

Submitted: 11/8/2009

Quality:
hand made in usa, can't go wrong thee

Value:
I probly payed upwards of 300 for a set, worth it? yes

Desirability:
I wanted it, I have it, if you want it too DO NOT waste time, you'll love yourself for making the right choice

Sound:
this pickup first came into my life when I ordered my slash signature epiphone les paul, I soon tired of that and moved on to a gibson. I missed the sound of the duncans so I ordered up a set and stuck them in the gibson and PURE perfection. these pickups really need a good guitar to shine ( as is the case with most low output I find ) these will not disapoint you, even slash could mistake you for himself when you play these babys in a les paul

Support:
never had to deal with support, hope I dont need to as well

Overall:
Till deal do us part, these pickups will go with my les paul to the grave THANK YOU SEYMOUR DUNCAN
