its a beast of a pickup for extreme music!
(conclusion at the end)
it has a nice mid tone with low end that doesnt get in the way of the bass fequency, and enough high to cut through the mix of whatever you play along with
when you play it through a clean tone it will distort it a little giving it a nice bluesy tone, when you get to a crunch sound it wil definitely give you all the gain and grit you need for a solid rock tone.
but when you get to the lead channel it will bring a powerful distortion sound that (as mentioned earlier) cuts through the mix amazingly, perfect for lead tones.
only thing to watch with this pickup is the highs on your amp, always play with the EQ of your amp when getting a new pickup to see what works and sounds best.
With looks they went with a little twist from their usual humbucker look. For starters instead of chrome look for the metal parts they went with a nice blackend style, and they normal "Seymour Duncan" name logo on the pickup in now in a little darker than normal old English font
Conclusion,
its a pickup that really shines in the high gain/lead territory as it was designed for, but that doesn't mean it won't do classic rock or blues with a little twist, together with rocking the little changes in looks that give it that more agressive view makes this pickup a strong contender in the world of high output pickups
