This pickup came with a '77 Les Paul bought from a friend, and I always liked it, but I got it in my head to put a full-size pickup in her. Never could reconcile that itty-bitty pickup in a guitar that weighs more than a Buick. Now, I don't regret that decision, cuz now she's my favorite fiddle, but I had to find a home for little Seymour. Well, long story short, I built a mahogany Telecaster around this pickup, and it is the MOST expressive guitar I have now. There are tones and nuances on this thing from 1 to 10 on the Volume knob, so much I am still finding out what this thing can do.
