SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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 . 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 . Ease of Use: It's a guitar pickup , straight forward to install if you are confident with a soldering iron . 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 ;-) Manufacturer Support: Can't comment , never had to contact the company .. so that's a good thing right there ! The Wow Factor: "sex appeal" LOL !! .. well i guess it's does sound sexy ( in the guitar ) in the right hands hahaha 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 .

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 Quality: The Product is as perfect as it can get Value: it gives a lot more performance compared to its price. Its perfect 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

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. Feature: It has Aluminum,cobalt,and nickel magnets. I only wish it had a logo. Ease of Use: Schematic comes in the box. Easy to use and essemble. Can use on anything w/ humbuckers. 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. Manufacturer Support: There is no waranty. The Wow Factor: There is no way I could play without it. Overall: I think i will use these pickups for years to come. Absolutely no others like it.

"A must have" submitted November 8, 2009

Overall
Back to Product Information
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 Quality: hand made in usa, can't go wrong thee Value: I probly payed upwards of 300 for a set, worth it? yes Manufacturer Support: never had to deal with support, hope I dont need to as well The Wow Factor: I wanted it, I have it, if you want it too DO NOT waste time, you'll love yourself for making the right choice Overall: Till deal do us part, these pickups will go with my les paul to the grave THANK YOU SEYMOUR DUNCAN

Musical Background: Active musician, teacher, basically awesome
Music Style: Hard Blues, Southern, Stoner
Back to Product Information
Sound: This is the most musical and articulate humbucker on the market. It is warm, round, and sounds very sweet clean. The bridge pickup is not ice-picky and the bass is not sloppy at all. I have these in a LTD PB 500 and I am about to put a set in one of my Strats. It stays articulate with dirt to light distortion, is raunchy (in the good way) when you push your amp really hard. Feature: These came stock in the PB 500 so I can't say too much about this. They are wired for coil tapping. Ease of Use: They just sound good. You have to make sure your pickup height is set correctly to find the sweet spot for the pickup, not what the guitar manual suggests. Quality: They're Duncans. They will last Value: These are worth every dime you spend on them. I will say this about very few pickups, but it's true here. Manufacturer Support: I gave a five here simply because I have no idea, I've never had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: They're pickups, so sound is what's important. No gimmicks, no tricks, just solid workmanship and quality material. I love the sounds I get from these pickups through almost any decent amp. Overall: I have had these long enough for the honeymoon to be over. I want to put them in another guitar. You could never convince me there is a better humbucker on the market for Blues to Rock.

I am not the most experienced player, but the different techniques I could pull off with the aid of these pickups was awesome, I had tears in my eyes, Put your amp on clear tone and play a nice clear rhythm, push the petal, switch to metal and the chunk and squeal is there, vary divers sounds. These pickups offer an endless possibility of sound, From beginners to the pros, I loved them.
