The pickup is surprisingly well made.I installed it as a neck pickup in my Thinline CV with Seymour Duncan Vintage stack in the bridge and they complement each other great. I had to modify the pickguard and do a tiny rout in the pickup cavity to be able to fit in the wiring coming out from the bottom of the pickup. I use 500K pots. It does not sound muddy at all and it has a great, punchy sound.It is extremely quiet and just slightly warmer than the regular tele pickup.Absolutely recommend. It sounds like a boutique pickup for 1/5 the price!I might use these pickups for other projects.
