First of all, Thomann's service was second to none as per usual.
These have one hell of a reputation and very little negative talk around them and it's easy to see why the second you hit a big open A power chord with the amp cranked. This this is one hell of a bridge pickup, perfect for that 70's/80's rock/metal/shred tone. I paired mine with a Super 2 in a Gibson Les Paul that i run through an '84 800 and for me, this is pretty much everything i've wanted in regards to "finding my tone." This thing cleans up surprisingly well too and it's so much more versatile than simply hitting pinched harmonics over and over, but boy is it good at doing that too.
Believe the hype on this one, there's a reason it's still at the top of it's game after all these years.
