Nice pickups

I put a pair of the Seth Lover pickups in an ES-335. They brought the guitar back to life. Nice clean tone when turned down to about 6 on the guitar, and a great blues bite when turned up. Great sound at an affordable price.

Great PAF tones!

I have used these in a Gibson SG Standard and 50's Standard Les Paul. Easily in my top 3 favorite p/ups of any make.

sounds about right

I am still getting used to these but so far they are impressing me with the tones and unique characteristics available to locate and explore. I play through low watt tube amps most of the time, they work well with my early circuit fender clones, nice round tones and solid sustain. Glad to have them.
Music background: playing fifty years now, building amps and upgrading guitars for ten.

These pickups sing

This is the second set I've installed.

Fantastic Pickups

These are hands down some of the best pickups I've ever used. If you love that vintage paf tone, these are for you. Remember they are not potted, so they are more sensitive to vibrations and if you tap your pick on the cover, you will hear it. However, because of that, they are extremely open and resonate sounding.
