I've had a few months at the beginning I had glued a cover but it sounds much better without.
mounted on a bridge fender american deluxe FMT (flamed maple table without pickguard)
I really like the fat side crunch, the sound is definitely Vintage +, it is described as a PAF on steroids, that's exactly it.
I said that I tried (too much?) pickups for some time to every mark and fat in the registry, this one is really great, beautiful harmonics, treble and calm many mediums
plain it is wise enough not pierce the eardrums and has a very strong mediums.
seu default, the split is very low, I prefer to split Paf Pro (which is also fat but less vintage in the frequency curve)
I would recommend a LP or SG for Southern rock sound or a sound strat texas
