"Dead Quiet to Screaming Banshee"

I bought these pups to replace the originals in my PRS Custom 24 SE. (purchased here) It was always a great playing, but okay sounding guitar. Things are different now.I am amazed how quiet they are at idle. When I put the gas to it, they scream like a well-tuned banshee. The harmonics are clear as a bell. These have truly exceeded my expectations.
