Basic stuff: The Indie Paul (guitar English) which is already a great guitar home. However, finding the sound a little too loud in the treble, I was looking for something more vintage, more granular, more consistent ...
I am facing the 57 Gibson. Assembly could not be more simple. Classic race in 57 and 57 classic plus in bridge.
And then .... Waaaaaahhhhhh !!!!!!! It straightens whiskers seriously! The guitar has found a new life. The sound is "sweet" with a "homogeneous fat", not at all aggressive. I would say, almost languorous ... If we really attack, ca straightens even as they damn well send microphones! The sustain is endless!
I who am a fan of Led Zep, I approach the Vintage really typical.
In his clear, the harmonics are a breeze, and the notes stand out perfectly.
With a setting crunch, the blues are gorgeous. While homogeneity.
I had not tried other mics ahead because there must be said that trying microphones is a little hassle because it need a mount on the guitar. So I just trusted to read different opinions here and there.
In the end, no regrets! These pickups are the bomb!
Only criticism (there must be a) the price! February 57 classic, it cost qd same skin c.. but what does that worth it!
A remake?? And rather than 10 times! Skip next to the microphone is a big mistake ... :-)
Warning: for metalhead guitarists or more extreme, these pickups are not for you as too homogeneous.
