"great pup"
i plan on using these in more of my guitars
Sound
"better than emgs" it sounds amazing and no hum or buzz, one of the best pickups i've ever used or installed
Features
the wiring diagram that came with the pup wasnt the best but i figured it out eventually, the pup itself is small and requires a closer string spacing, again no hum!
Ease of Use
drop in and play, doesnt get much easier
Quality
well built, although i think the hook up wires need a little more plastic sheilding instead of just being twisted together
Value
could be cheaper but great sound for the price
Manufacturer Support
none needed

Great sounding dynamic pickup!
Sound
The reason these get a nine is because my other main guitar has vintage 1950 Trisonic pickups rebuilt by Ade adeson, who also does work for brian May amongst other. I have these in a hamiltone prototype guitar and I can tell you this, no matter what you play these pickups will do it for you. The dynamics are superb for a hot pickup. I have only played live but let me tell you, guitarists were apearing all over the place to ask about my pickups.
Features
when you split the coil, you get this strat on steroids that resonds to volume knob(guitar) changes as good as ive ever experienced. I put the two inner coils in series and lookout, they will they will rock you!
Ease of Use
Its a pickup
Quality
They are aluminum so they dint scratch easily, but they probably wouldnt take a solid straight on hit very well.
Value
Over Priced, but so are all of this companies pickups.
Manufacturer Support

High output pickups sound great for leads, but they're usually too hot to clean up for softer passages. The Alumitone Deathbucker avoids this problem with space-age technology and design. The sound is hot, but extremely well detailed. It's like going from standard definition TV to HD. It's splittable, and still quiet in split mode. It matches perfectly with the regular Alumitone humbucker in the neck. I can go from expressive jazz to screaming metal with one guitar. Very impressive.
