Sound: IF you are looking for a replica sound of the other more expensive name brand '59 humbucker that starts with a G, then you will be delighted just as I was. I needed to replace the bridge pickup in my Les Paul because the '59 in my other Les Paul sounded sooooo good. I would describe the pickup to be 'squawky,' when digging hard into the strings, but with the volume on the guitar backed down, it presents a warm and balanced tone as well. Feature: Features? well... I do like the fact that it is a two conductor pickup - so it was a breeze to install. Ease of Use: I think this pickup would bring even the darker sounding woods to life because of its slightly scooped mids and has just enough treble Quality: Im pretty confident the pickup will be great quality, I've had many people recommend these to me. Value: Yep. It was great not to pay tax or shipping on this particular product. Overall: If this pickup were to go foul I would probably just try the sh-4 instead of the sh-1, just for kicks.

Sound: Put these on my Epiphone Les Paul and they gave the guitar a much "bigger" sound; much more than I expected. I usually use this guitar for playing blues and rock, especially for rhythm. But now, I can also use it for Jazz. They made the guitar a bit more versatile. Ease of Use: Because the pickups are "vintage", they require soldering to the guitar pots, but there is only 1 wire coming out of the pickup. It's more than a bit tricky soldering the wire covering to the pots, which kept breaking loose after the solder cooled, which caused me great fits. But once I got them attached (only after 10 or 11 attempts at it) they sounded great. Manufacturer Support: Had to call Seymour Duncan directly, as the "guitar tech" at Zzounds had no idea about installing pickups. But they were extremely knowledgable and helpful. The Wow Factor: The gold tone pickups look awesome with my gold-top Les Paul. Overall: Hopefully I won't have to replace them because they are just too hard to install. If they do go bad, I'll replace them with modern pickups that are more friendly to install.

Sound: It is an alright sounding pickup, but I have a '57 Les Paul Custom and it has the original PAF's and the Seymour Duncan model is similar, but not nearly as rich sounding. I replaced mine with a set of "Crossroads" from WCR Pickups and they nail "that sound" and then some. Truly a first class product. I guarantee if you by a set you'll never even think about replacing them, unles of course they are stolen. Value: Alright value, when you grow up you'll replace it. Overall: It's just O.K. in my book.
