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.
