Excellent microphone, some better than Gibson. I am very surprised to see some try to use it for the hard or trash !!!!!!!! It's not the destination, it's a PAF, so blues, rock, jazz. Very warm and velvety, with the body and a beautiful grain. Mine dates from 1986 and is mounted on a Yamaha SA800, a copy of the 335, in the neck position, and coupled with an SH4 JB (1986 too), I am absolutely satisfied. Well-considered choice, I am not mistaken.
