I bought two Quarter Pounds for my Jackson DK2. I wanted that 80s superstrat tone from the neck and middle to upgrade from the standard stock designed-Duncan’s
Roll down the volume on the neck for a clean tone these pickups give a very good solid fulsome tone. Roll up the volume for a little drive and you’re in Stevie Ray Vaughan-esq tone territory, a pleasant place to be. Nice woody voicing.
With a regular 5 way switch tones 3, 4 and 5 give a beautiful blend of options for most styles of guitar music. 5 is so full and woody…heaven.
These pickups are very versatile that will suit hard rock with plenty of grit to crisp clean tones of the Def Leppard Hysteria era.
I read and listened to many reviews of these pickups. Some frowned upon my choice online to marry 2 x Quarter Pounds and a DiMarzio Air Norton. But, different horses for different courses. I didn’t follow the herd and love a brutal bridge pickup complemented with two wholesome Quarter Pounds for sensitivity as well as some brutal edge should I need it.
Excellent inspirational pickups !
