One of the best neck pickups I've tried, and I've been through most of what Dimarzio produce. It's harmonically rich, fat and high output with a full frequency range. It cleans up well when the volume is reduced and doesn't loose too much treble (as per the Dimarzio Breed). Its not overly boomy on a 24 fret guitar but produces a nice rounded output when the upper frets are played on a heavily overdriven amp. Not thin and brittle like the Evolutions, or muddy like other pickups in the neck position.
The trouble with a pickup such as this is that it makes at least one aspect of many other high output pickups sound inferior!
Installation is dead simple, so long as you know how to use a soldering iron and know what flux is, the flex is more than long enough, just don't be tempted to cut it too short.
Quick delivery from Thomann as usual.
