How long have you been using it?
I mounted this pickup on a CUSTOM 77 Explorer guitar (bridge position).
I wanted a sound for fat distortions and clear arpeggios.
I didn't want a muddy tone. I've been using this pickup for one month.
- Which feature do you like the most / the least?
I like that the sound always stays accurate with this pickup
both in clean or distortion mode. With distortion the sound has strong overtones and
a rather long sustain.
The sound character is close to a Gibson PAF but with the color of a Seymour Duncan SH-4 Jeff Beck and a DiMarzio PAF Pro. The output level is nearly as high as a Tone Zone Dimarzio.
The lows, mids and highs are well-balanced.
The pickup allows you to play several music styles: from blues to rock, funk, pop, hard rock and even melodic heavy metal.
Spec sheet of the Crel Serial killer bridge pickup:
Output: 350 mV
Impedance: 11 kOhms
Resonance frequency: 4.3 Henries
(this pickup is also available for Floyd Rose string spacing)
Output: 4 wires + shield
- Did you try any other models before buying it?
Yes I tested several models: Gibson Paf, DiMarzio Paf Pro, Tone Zone, Super Distortion, Seymour Duncan SH4, SH11, SH12, KCPI Kamel Chenaouy Vintage KC-V-58, EMG 81, 85, SA, GFS 59 and boutique PAF, etc...
- How would you rate its value for money?
For a handmade pickup with lifelong warranty, the value for money is excellent.
- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
I would buy it again considering the quality and originality of the pickup.
