All user reviews for the SP Custom Handwound Pickups Smokey90 HB

How long have you use it?

mounted on my Les Paul Classic it is 1 1/2 months. Warm in a handle and a Jr in the bridge. 115 € each which gives € 230 kit.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Installed in place of Gibson 550T and 498R .... otherwise I know the Ampeg P90 mounted on the Dan Armstrong and several pairs of Duncan. It's not really playing in the same category!

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Well it's handmade, hand wound by a small French artisans team. I could talk to them for the selection of microphones according to my expectations and for monitoring manufacturing (everything is made to order and custom).
For sound reproduction, this is really the class is great and very open, very dynamic. Crunch recess is happiness but also clean it slap whatsoever the neck or bridge. And even heavy distortion it defends. It is not active EMG recess but great credibility. I play pop rock with, more pop to more rock and I do not change guitar between songs.

How would you rate the quality / price?

Very good quality / price ratio. This is the price of hand wound but ultimately it is not much more expensive than the micro factory. Some finishes are a little more expensive (as reliquage example)

With experience, you do again this choice?

A remake eyes closed especially since it's very easy to install new pickups on a guitar (about 30 min for the pair)
