Like it a lot - perfect in a warm LP
I like this pickup a lot because I tried it in my LP after using the regular Custom (ceramic magnet) and it was like a blanket was lifted off of my amps. It was a huge improvement over the Custom. I could get AC/DC type sounds and heavier. In a bright guitar this might be too bright. I'd recommend 250k volume pots instead of 500k for this type of pickup if it's too bright. In my all mahogany LP it was perfect. It's a hot pickup but still gives you classic rock tones, and it does it better than the Custom in my opinion.
And of course this pickup is a magnet swapper's dream. It sounds good with any kind of magnet.

good bridge position pickup
This pickup has lots of bite. I find I like to roll down the tone knob when I use it. This is not my favorite pickup ever... the cleans are a little lackluster. But crank up the distortion and this is a really nice pickup!
