Alright these pickups are just hot. I have em in my epiphone les paul standard which makes the guitar sounds soooo much better. I run the les paul through a crybaby wah into my line 6 spider 3 30 watt. If your debating between these and another set get these there Just Awesome!

I put this set in a faded gibson SG.They sound much better than the stock 490s. I work on guitars at two local music stores. I have installed many picks-ups, these are smooth and mellow,clean and pestine and can get down and nasty. A very well balanced set of humbuckers.Will do great covering any style of music.....ANY!!!.One little tip for the do it youselfers, use a soldering iron! Not a soldering gun! ( you can demagnitize the pick-ups with the solder gun.) A good investment that will make any guitar very happy. rock on!!!!

I got these from MF about a year or so ago. Had them installed in a Epi Dot. That combined with a pro set up and bone nut has given me one sweet playing and sounding guitar. I have played it daily since then and still love its sound. Jazzy to Country Twang it covers it for me.

After soldering the pickups in my SG Epiphone, I plugged it in my Pandora, dialled a clean sound and I was immediately struck that I had the sound of the arpeggio in "When the smoke is going down", from Scorpions (with the selector switch in the middle position).

Then I went on Youtube, listened to that tune, and I got back to my guitar to plug it into my amp, an unexpensive combo, but a very good one that I bought only after trying many others and reading many reviews over several months. Well, I did have the same sound as in the Scorpions song; a much more experienced musician confirmed it. Through the amp's overdrive and through my pedals' overdrive and distortion, the sound is just as brillant.

These pickups give you a very professional sound, even if you have amateur gear. They also make the guitar pots perform much better. I thought I would have to replace them but they were fine, only the inferior stock pickups made the pot variations too abrupt. The ideal sound made me feel a better player and made me play more. Success.

put these pups in a 1992 epi SG, well built guitar, sound was just muddy. throw these in and it is a bitchin guitar now. for the price you can not go wrong. sounds great on clean and with distortion,
