I did put a pair on my Ibanez 180 Dream-TOR AF75D whose original pickups were, to my mind, characterless and tasteless. I spotted the GFS pickups for a while and I decided to Dreams 180, especially after noticing that many possessors of AF75 chose these pickups. I ordered late May and they took seven and a half weeks to arrive, a record according to Jay, the Manager of the box! (He who answers the mail!). Normally, a command is one week to arrive!
So since I use one and half months and I have mostly used this summer during an internship of Jazz and I must say I've never felt any difference after changing the pickups. the result is downright amazing.
Micro Bridge is very incisive with his twangy enough, with quite high medium. It can be very wild and very vintage in mind, I made a small "The Barn" on it with my tube screamer, it does it very well also with the right settings on the amp. It is quite versatile from the point where it is used to make the Blues, Blues or Rock Rock'n Roll, Country and even the funk. It is not extraordinary, but it is a good microphone that delivers a vintage, with nice and decent character. I expect to use it with a tube amp to really see what he has in the stomach.
The micro neck (neck) is bleuffant him outright. I do not use that for one thing: playing jazz. Its velvety, full of character, very round and warm, lots of low medium, it is a wonder. My Ibanez has really become a jazz guitar with these pickups. Besides an ES175, she was not pale. A user on Harmony Central calls this microphone "guitarists'best kept secret" (the best preserved secret guitarists) is saying!
Frankly, my Ibanez is radically different with these two microphones. I also heard a sample of these microphones mounted on a Telecaster, andTHE sound is still different. These microphones are adapting very well to the violin and have an output level close to the Gibson Paf.
I put them 10 because I think it's impossible to beat in terms of price / sound quality.
If this choice I would do with experience? Carément! and eyes closed!
