Bernal: Pastillas cerámicas muy cañera sobre todo para metal, tienen una salida de 12k que puedes dividir en dos bobinas buenos acabados y bajo ruido. La única pega para más de uno es que no tiene el logo y no pone Simon Dukan ni nada parecido. Así que para el postureo no vale pero para tocar y sacar un sonido rockero metalero gordo rico en graves si. Cada día estoy más sorprendido con la calidad de estas pastillas chinas y desengañado de pastillas que cuestan 8 veces más que ésta pero no son 8 veces mejores.
Salud y R&R.

Carlos López: Timbre muy bueno y buen nivel de salida. Bastante mejor calidad que cualquier equivalente por el mismo precio.

Celticskunk: I bought this pickup because it's rails are long enough to cover the 58mm string spread of my homemade lap steel. There's was the problem of the rails being convex to follow the radius of a regular guitar neck. This made the 2 outside strings have a weaker signal than the rest. I ground the rails flat and that cured everything. This pickup sounds fantastic whether playing clean or overdriven. Highly recommended for your project.

Dira: Der PU sitzt am Steg einer Stratcopy mit Lindebody, Ahornhals, Pau Ferro Griffbrett und Vintage Trem mit Stahlblock.

Als Humbucker ist er ein waschechter Hot Rail, wobei das Original etwas differenzierter ist. Er ist sehr laut, wobei die Fender Noiseless PUs am Hals und in der Mitte auch vintage korrekt sehr leise sind. Hier muß man also genau überlegen, ob die Balance vom Output her passt.

Inzwischen läuft er parallel verschaltet bei mir, so passt der Output etwas besser, wobei er immer noch gut Dampf auf der Naht hat. Er hat dadurch mehr glasigen Twang, aber nicht so fitzelig wie manches Original, geht eher so in Richtung Fat Tele. Klingt prima, Position 2 klingelt schön funky, Harmonics sind trotzdem eher humbucker-like, von allem etwas eben.

Der Einbau ist wie bei vielen Doppelklingen PUs im Single Format sehr knifflig, auf Biegen und fast Brechen, aber mit etwas Geduld passt er ins Schlagbrett ohne zu feilen. Höhenverstellung geht auch grad so.

Die beiliegende Beschreibung der Verdrahtung ist korrekt, Phase entspricht den Fender-PUs. So war die Löterei kein Problem.

Fazit: Ziemlich brauchbarer PU, zumal für den Preis, denke aber, daß...

Hector Gomez: Me gustó mucho el tono sin embargo la salida de audio era muy baja, lo compense subiendo la pastilla un poco mas cerca a las cuerdas, otra cosa que no me gusto fue que no es silenciosa, tengo entendido que al ser humbucker debería ser mas silenciosa pero tal vez sea por el cableado de mi guitarra. Muy buen producto si buscas un tono mas metalero.

Wer wills wissen ;-): Negativ:
- Die Löcher für die Schrauben müssen angepasst werden, nicht schlimm aber sollte erwähnt werden
- Das Verkabelung wie beigelegt geht bei mir nur im Humbuckermodus. Wenn weiss und grün getrennt werden, dann kommt kein Ton bzw. nur ganz ganz ganz wenig! (habe 3 andere Spiltcoils, daher gelaubt mir...)
Mögliche Abhilfe:
In den Rezessionen habe ich gelesen, dass weiss/grün immer zusammen sein müssen und Spilt dann wohl via ground gehen soll. Ich habe es nicht mehr ausprobiert, vielleicht mache ich das noch.

Mein Ziel:
HSS zu HSH idealerweise mit Split-Modus

Fazit:
Den Sound empfinde ich als gut, kein Brummen. Für einen Hotrail klingt er relativ "weich" und er könnten vielleicht etwas mehr Höhen vertragen. Als Problem sehe ich, zusammenpassende Pickups zu finden (Hals-Bridge, Ton-Lautstärke etc.). Ansonsten bin ich positiv überrascht. Vielleicht hole ich mir den "echten Humbucker der Marke" für die Bridge und wenn die beiden dann harmonieren, bestens. Leider gibt es den nur in Zebra :-(

Nachtrag:
Habe den Pickup hat als Humbucker mit ca. 9.6 gemessen.

BrotherJack: EDITED Feb 2015 - revised to positive review because (read below):

I originally gave this a 2 star review because a corner bit on the plastic cover that wraps around the rails broke when i was going to install it, so I never installed it at that time. I still contend, that the plastic bits should be sturdier so as not to break when I accidentally bump pickup into pick guard while installing (it was a solid 'bump', but not anything I would have expected to break a pickup cover!). That was the substance of my original review - 2 stars, based on having never installed it.

I have since managed to super-glue the plastic bit back on and installed it in the neck position of a homebrew (ie: built from near-scratch by me) guitar. I must say, I am just ridiculously incredibly happy with how this sounds. It is AMAZING - better than any factory pickup I've played in any guitar ever. This is my new favorite budget pickup (by a mile), and I'd have to spend a whole ton more to get one I think I'd like better. I would describe the sounds (in the neck position anyway, haven't tried it anywhere else) with adjectives like thick, rich, sultry, hot, smoky, boozy, sexy, steamy, sweaty,...

Schlitze: I'm a novice to guitar repair, so if you are like me don't be afraid, it's not that hard (just need a soldering iron of course!). Just got this today and put it in a cheap mini strat. The wiring is not always the same color code apparently (i.e the photo has a yellow wire, mine didn't). I used another reviewer's instructions (Robert Johnson) and they were quite good except my wire colors were in a different order. Just know that whatever wire is connected to the shield wire is ground (my shield wire had black shrink wrap, and the other wire was green). I capped off the the other two that were wired together (in my case red and white) and the remaining wire was the hot wire and went to my switch. If you read the other reviewers instructions this will make sense. The wires are already soldered together as they should be. Now a couple of issues, and forgive me if I don't have the correct nomenclature for some of the parts:

The part of the pickup that has the holes to be screwed to the pick guard is plastic. The holes are small, and so are the screws that come with it-really small-and they almost go through the pick guard. I found two small washers and was installing them when...
