« A bit surprising... »

Interesting GFS pickups (they have a very comprehensive range of products, they have launched several Alnico II and V versions + all the rest...I invite you to visit their website ...). Very classy look! The particularity of the humbuckers I cabled? They have a big and modern output, if you drive them relatively well with an LP, although you could also risk it with a 335...
...Or, more exactly, with an Epiphone 339. That would be wiser because they have more wood and that way you make sure you get that "sonic cannibalism."
...Precise clean sounds and up to Crunch and OV... At the end of the travel you can expect a hyper-powerful distortion, although it can get a bit "muddy"... They are splittable for a more intimate performance, with such versatility they will do a great job onstage. But in the studio they'll show their limitations, their output power levels are very hard to work with. At home they might prove just as thorny if you have neighbors.
- Rather nice. A good choice in face of the lack of similar products in this 6-string "niche". And with the elegance to go with them.
- While it would be an exaggeration, or even laughable, to recommend them "emphatically," given all the reasons above, their singularities make them recommendable if you are looking for a massive sound and you bear in mind what I wrote before (for an almost insolent price, you get twice or thrice what you pay for...).
