I bought it two months ago and installed it in the neck position of my Ibanez S470 SOL (with its Norton brother on the bridge). I can only confirm the sound quality of these pickups.
In the beginning, I used it with a 9-42 D'Addario string set and I was very disappointed. The sound had a poor definition and no punch. I then tried a D'Addario 10-46 string set and I was blown away. Great sound, very precise. I think the problem was the magnetic field of the pole pieces, which impeded the strings to vibrate freely. So if you're thinking about upgrading your pickups with these (for a higher output level), consider using a heavier gauge string set.
