Artec LPA210 Alnico 5 Covered Standard Humbucker Bridge Pickup 16.8K para Guitarra Elétrica Estilo LP

I used the neck humbucker in my MIM tele and it sounds great.

These things absolutely scream! Super hot, super fat sounding. I'm ordering a few more sets so I'll always have a set just in case.

16.5k for the bridge and 8.9k for the neck. Similar to a JB & '59 setup.I Installed them in my Les Paul.Build quality is fine. They look great. No complaints and I do see evidence of wax so I believe they are potted.The tone is ok. They aren't sterile and they compliment eachother well.Sadly, if you use your volume control for cleaner sounds while playing with distortion, they do not clean up at all. They get very muddy. I tried on my Peavey 5150 and VHT pitbull. Not ideal sounds in that regard. None of my other guitars have this issue with other pickups.Playing with the volumes all the way distorted up is just fine and same with clean channels on amplifiers.They're ok value for money if you need something for a project and you aren't someone who rides the guitar volume like I do.

I replaced some cheap pickups that came with a knock off guitar with these. They look very nice and they have heft to them. They come with black surround so I just had to pop out the old ones and solder in these new ones. They fit exactly. I measured them at about 8K ohms each. They have the 4 wires plus ground connectors - I needed that so I could make the David Gilmour mod to my Les Paul knock off. I am very pleased.

Using a lot of different pick ups it has come to my mind that most of them sound about the same. These ones Where a little less hot. Other than that, they sound great
