Hi Guys,

Is there anotherway to check if these pickups are the real deal, they are pretty pricey so want to know what you guys think.

I see it has a sticker on the back but no "serial number"

They are legit.

They first came out engraved as such, and look exactly like the ones I had.

Ridiculously good pickups.

Hi Rockstar,

What is your opinion about upgrading a les paul with them?

What are there tonal "preference" rock, blues?

Thanks

The best way for me to describe them is open sounding. Dynamically they are very responsive and can suit a wide range of styles. They are on par with Lollar/Bare Knuckle pickups but are very difficult to get hold of. Probably some of the best pickups I've ever heard.

+1. A well-made classic PAF design. Not balls-to-the-wall high output, so won't suit everybody, but for classic rock and blues, hard to beat.

Only available in, or as an upgrade to, PRS guitars, so even if you don't like 'em, it'll be easy enough selling them for enough to get a new set of Bareknuckles to suit your tastes.

Thanks guys!!
