    Although the price is relatively high, but I think the game is worth the candle. I like the sounds typed 80.

    I use it since late 2011, kit mounted on a fender strat 1997.

    the sound is very versatile, micro single possible to have round and warm sound strat (hendrix) as plain distortion.
    sending the humbucker sauce with precision and sustain heat, plugged into a marshall for my part, sending it serious!

    microphones are active, so zero noise! ​​are the top!

    for 200 euros and as long as it possesses a good scraper mounted to the plate, it is a very good buy!

    before buying check that there is room for a humbucker in the body of your guitar and especially a location to calibrate the drumkit easily in a strat usa it goes Zen is made for it!

    I would do this choice without hesitation!

    Purchased ad 100 euros a guitar I wanted to do everything so the singles and doubles. The electronics are active, I play often and the drumkit will discharge very slowly (over several years if not connected guitar). I bought an old Stag strato 60 euros whose handle was straight and I put the plate on. Do not sound simple at all and there are many strato more bass. Intermediate positions are not convincing to the inverse of DG20. But the sound is very distinctive, very precise and defined and can all play with. Rhythmic funky beautiful arpeggios or on two singles and solo on the double bridge by lowering the treble anyway. Great versatility and great sounds. With a tube amp + overdrive is th…

These microphones are very reactive. Flight warm, round 5, 9 and the crunch is severe velouté.C is not for nothing that the Luk utilisent.J 'have adopted the EMG in general.

    I got this set a lag 1000 series.
    the final good mics but I found them a bit "flat", lack of taste, personality ... it is good in any case felt my.
    so I sold this kit to install in SD Blackout Out AHB1 bridge and 2 single associates and mid neck. they have a lvl output bcp most important, of course, but mostly I find them rounder, more body, less bland than the short kit SL20.
    I keep on my Lag ...

    I use this plate on a squier maintenat since 3 months and I must say it has revolutionized my guitar and my playing.
    Indeed, these microphones need a right hand bcp more precise and present.
    I wanted a new guitar may eventually buy more mics laying (total € 350) a was the wisest because I liked the handle strat.
    The pickups are really great simple bass are present. When coupled with the double midle is my favorite position, a very special grain. While only 85 does not require that the distortion in a screaming riff leave alone. to clean it sounds a little dry, that's why I prefer the 4 position.
    With experience, I would do cetain that choice.

    I use this plate recently prs 6 months on a 1986 Squier Japan.
    I wanted above all to have the least breath possible, because with the old passive pickups, I had a constant hum incompatible with a proper recording!
    I am satisfied with TRS, a nitre of a large CRT monitor I have no interference, and my vumtre Cubase indicates a noise level minus infinity
    I love the clear sound of these pickups, fantastic for me a little bluesy solos with his pure trs.
    I have not tried too much distortion even if c'tait Premire my intention, because when I plug in my guitar, I find the sound so good plain that I can not m'arrter !

    - How long have you use it?
    I use it for three years on a squier base, compared to basic micro squier is not a picture the diffrence is amazing

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    Plus:
    No background noise, the sound of microphones is unique especially that of the single coils, their signature Audible differs greatly compared to other micro fender and DiMarzio.

    Minimum:
    Twice does not marry all of my has got with his clear, the battery must be accsa Bricol since it is below the plate microphones, I log the stack in the plate derrire the guitar is more convenient to change it

    - How do you report qualitprix?
    I think it's good it's going the quality is to go for the price I pay 350 to the ca era but worth every penny

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
    No problem, I am considering buying a fender that amricaine j'quiperai directly with this kit.

    Mounted on a custom project one month ago, the sound is clear that both dreaded crunch or lead, the two provide simple distortion perfectly, the double lead is really terrible, no extraneous noise, the clear sound of the simple alone or in combination is really pure, slamming in the online emg. I have a really j'apprcie 81 and 85 at the bridge that sounds a little less sharp and loud but still standard on the solos.
    I modified the kit in the amount of a pickguard MSM in a 81 round, the SLV boost with a SPC in the middle and 85 at the bridge, HUGE!! What I am looking for a long time!!
