SG shape, micro active EMG 81/85, 1 tone / 1 volume, mecanniques has grover. mine was secondhand (2008 I think) in very good condition.
she walks a 9V battery

UTILIZATION

simple, 1 volume, 1 tone, comfortable and fast. action is low, the E string a little frieze, but it will rule. on the other hand, there are other guitar pickups with this config with 2 tone, 1 volume (or vice versa). In short, it's always nice to have more in lattidtude adjustments. It is light and pleasant to play. On the LEAD channel, it is absolutely terrible. tonialite the adjustment of volume and are progressive and that is a good thing because it is often necessary to lower them significantly.
By big against bemol for battery replacement, it is a nightmare! the small rubber strap with both the 9V battery connectors are mediocre, not enough wire (two cables) to go out and be able to connect the battery correctly and almost impossible to accommodate the battery into the receptacle and press trying that ca connects. Reflective in there, I still wonder how I got there! I find the option that some manufacturers (or Godin Blade) offer to switch from passive to active inetlligente more. At the same time, it is not quite comparable and it is not the same microphones

SOUNDS

on my fender msutang 3, ca Eye difficult and frustrating, the microphones are too powerful I guess for modeling sound like they are supposed to do with a start or squire with 3 single coil pickups.
ENGL Thunder 50 on the guitar shows that it is capable of (both amp ok nothing to see!), ca very pleasant and fits perfectly to this type of amp. A guitar, an amp and go!
It fits perfectly to what I wanted. microphones sonnet a little cold compared to passive pickups HB bonen brand of vintage-style, but it can catch up at the amp settings or with an external pedal. good surpise is also clear sounds I find

OVERALL OPINION

I put the max because of malgrés default it gives a max price for new, mine was in excellent condition with a 170 € check box.
