ok tone - les paul made of birch
playingear 26.02.2019
i think this is a bit too bassy, even for my les paul made of birch (zoot suit model).
it is difficult to find the tone one wants. the pickup works and probably to some it is the right tone, but for me it is not. looking at other options i find it difficult to find a good replacemnt outwidth a filter tron style pickup - the variety of humbuckers that fit into a P90 slot is not great.

the sound just did not speak to me enough but that is personal. the pickup works and maybe it is the right one for you.

ideally one should be able to try this and then return if it does not work (i know in the USA that is the case with swapping with Dimarzio). i have had mine for about 1 year and still use it, but i will probably swap it in time in the quest for a tone that suits my needs more ...
PS: I use it in Parallel and Series (works well). I also experimented as a single coil and it was alright - I prefer Parallel and Series wirings due to Hum (which is the reason I swapped out the P90 in the first place)
