I bought this pickup 4 years ago and it hasn't left my telecaster (my main guitar) since. Needs to be wired with 500k pots to sound right. I was inspired by Scotty Anderson & Brent Mason to put this in my tele. I have tried every neck pickup, including Lollars and Joe Bardens, this is my favourite. I have an original 60s Epiphone mini hb in my backup guitar. The two pickups seems comparable & I have no urge to put the vintage one in my main guitar. These seem quite expensive. I would happily try a seymour duncan though, if I got a 3rd mini hb equipped telecaster... this is not going to happen.
