For description, see the previous opinions.
I mounted this kit 3 months ago on a highway a key strat maple.
For the sake of brevity, I will only note the main positive and negative that I found.

Assets:
- Impeccable finishing kit in welding, wiring of different components, it is very pro
- Easy installation (although on a highway as he nearly disassemble the handle because of the famous 12th fret which makes the heel of the neck extends into the plate).
- The range of sounds that can be achieved is amazing, though a bit too strong upward medium (metal refrain).
- The level of signal obtained is far superior to the original equipment microphones highway.
- The knobs are not all or nothing, the progressivity of the effect is perfect.
- Total absence of hum.

Cons:
- Breath still quite embarrassing for the recording studio when you push a little boosters (for the scene, it's still acceptable).
- 9V battery box under the plate is a shame because it takes everything apart to change it (even if the handle of the highway). Fortunately it lasts longer and there the solution (which I will apply the next change) is to transfer the central spring of vibrato and put in place.
- Aesthetics of the plate perloïde color associated with the EMG cream is doubtful.
