John Suhr Makes one of the best pickups, because he uses authentic USA made magnets, so these are one of the most authentic pickups there is to be, I had Suhr ML pickups before, they great but in different way, more output, less sparkle more mids and more even sound, V60LP is has enough treble, more mid scooped, and old strat tone. Scott Henderson uses both, ML live, and V60LP in studio.
