Like i wanted. I put it in my Dean RC-7 (mahogany body,maple neck, ebony fretboard) to replace EMG's because i like passive pickups.For me this pickup is a Duncan Distortion with a little more modern tone, but old school death metal or 90's black metal is in this pickup's heart.
The 4-conductor cable also make this pickup excellent for cleans and Strat style solo aggressive shredding. You can play everything with this pickup.Very happy that Seymour Dunvan makes this soapbar versions, so you just swap pickups in the pickup nest.They say that Seymour Duncan is the voice of rock.
For me is the voice of rock, metal ,death,grind,black,punk,everything that requires a guitar.
This pickup is the proof.
This is one of the most smart purchases i've made from Thomann.
