I bought this as a neck Humbucker for my strat as I'd never had a neck Humbucker in a strat before so I thought I'd give it a go next to a Duncan JB. It sounded fantastic, real thick and creamy tone, roll tone off for some classic "woman" tone but I usually had it coil tapped because i was missing that classic strat tone in the neck and it totally sounded great split as well... Such a great pickup. Well I've now taken it out of the neck position and placed it in the bridge next to a couple of 57/62 strat pickups...perfect combo for me :D
