Bought this for a partscaster and it does the job extremely well. Way less hum than the stock pickups in my other Telecaster. The warmth and the dynamic range, especially on the neck pickup, is much better than I had expected – it all sounds much more Tele than anticipated, and I'm very happy about it. Installation was super easy and the pots attached to the control plate left enough room to place the 9V battery underneath, which meant I didn't have to drill a battery compartment cavity into the body of the guitar.
