I mount these on my epiphone humbuckers sheraton II, a classic 57 in handle and a classic 57 over the bridge.
I completely redo the electronics, home is not difficult (4 potnetiometre 500kohm CTS PIO .047 uF capacitor and the handle and a .022 uF at the bridge, ceramics absolutely avoided).
These humbuckers are exceptional, they are extremely rich in harmonics, they have an incredibly dynamic, and each string is clearly audible by the agreements ... a new sensation ...
A bit difficult to do saturate these humbuckers are made for crunch sounds good "vintage" but with a nice pedal (RAT, for example) they come out of saturation very dark in tone with the max (like "Sunshine of Your Love" from " Cream "and very clear tone with the kids, incredible versatility for humbuckers who want to" Vintage ".

I love the possibility to make notes cruncher and not others simply by changing the attack with the plectrum!
in the happiness of fingerpicking is dynamic.
should be forgotten completely accurate and modern distortion (metal or otherwise) ... with the humbuckers is Jazz, Blues, Rock, Hard Rock ...

I had great difficulty in selecting humbuckers especially since it is unfortunately necessary to purchase and mount them on his guitar and tried to power ...
So why not buy on those who are most utilities and most awarded for generations ... and then I cracked ... 85euro 95euro on easels in the neck .. ale ... but it's incredibly worth the trouble !!!!!
I will not have to scratch with humbuckers without the classic 57 and I would do all this choice for my next guitar in a heartbeat ...
