Feature:
I don't know what to say about a pickups features. It's damn good and that's enough.

Quality:
It workks well, nothing has gone wrong.

Value:
I can't see why it is so cheap. But it could be a better price, at least where I come from, Swerden. Everything is a little cheaper here than in USA, but that 's ok.

Desirability:
I really want it.

Sound:
It's great, the trebly sound is gone and the sound is more punchy and fat but it has still the Strat sound, I appreciate that. It's better for soloing than most humbuckers I 've played. You can blay both Blues and Metal with this, you will get a Blackmore kind of sound.

Ease of Use:
It's easier to get a singing tone with this a a stock pickup. Absolutely.

Support:
The best support is that you don't need any.

Feature:
Standard single coil. Great sound, but is sometime suseptable to annoying 60-cycle hum.

Quality:
Seymour Duncan pickups are very well made. Excellent quality for a reasonable price.

Value:
Again, excellent quality for the money.

Desirability:
When I play these pickups, I sense that somewhere, Rory Gallagher is smiling!

Sound:
I play many kinds of music, from rock to blues to jazz. I play a Fender Strat, and installed a ssl-6 in the bridge, a reverse-wound ssl-6 in the middle, and a vintage ssl-2 in the neck. Wow! The ssl-6's are overwound so they can really put out some classic "Strat" sound, but still clean up nicely when you back off the volume. I love the "quack" and mid-range "pop" that these pickups give you (a la Rory Gallagher). I play through a Marshall amp, and this combination of pickups really works well together. I decided to put a second ssl-6 in the middle (as opposed to another ssl-2) primarily because reverse-wound pickups have a tendency to lose some of their power, and the exra coil windings in the ssl-6 makes up for this quite well.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. I spent some time adjusting the pickup height to get just the right sound and volume that works well when you go from one position to the other with the 5-way switch.

Support:
Haven't needed any.

Overall:
Great sound -- classic quack and pop!
