Seymour Duncan SH-14 Custom 5

Value For Money : Poor
The sh14 is a development of custom SH5, dixit Seymour Duncan Alnico instead of a microwave ceramic.
So here, try on different guitars, I had found so so far, neither too much nor too little, in fact, and I had considered too way around ... (On my Les Paul classic: blah on my all-maple Warmoth: FRO). I was going to sell (buy regular opportunity to test microphones, I like !)...
... to its installation on my esp 901 (mahogany body, 50% and 50% maple, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, Floyd) and then, surprise: the microphone is revealed: juicy, full, thick.
So on this guitar very medium, large bass, a paf supercharged, a little gibson but without the typical dirty side (I love the 500t). Instead, he has a rather sleek and modern grain, a really great sound, very rock, can be metal (old and new Metallica album without worries). Exploitable clear because no screaming, splittable. Very flattering.
Compared to the HS6 (j'adooooooooooooore that), it is a bit more midrange and bassy, ​​less bright gain and output level equivalent.
Compared to sh12 (j'adoooooooooooore that too), it is more modern, clearer, more precise, tighter and less vintage. Incidentally, the sh12 fitted to the ESP turned on my Warmoth (including emg have reached the coup!) And again, the sound turned out! The 12 is much more comfortable than before! Like what ...
Morality, and that's why I love to try the mics on guitars, one must find the right combination of both. A microphone may be dull on a guitar and a super time. It's like girls with boys.
Q / P (I'm talking about guitar pickups): The list price is, for me, very excessive, regardless of the microphones, but cars on the net, FLOW. (90-100 € room nine is overpriced ..).
Yes I would do this choice, provided to find the right guitar.
