Stock neck pickup was OK, though. Well balanced and clear, very nice highs and clear, focused mids. Effects incude TS-9 reissue, tc electronics chorus, cheap delay.
Sonic improvement is night and day.
Stock neck pickup was unusable. The Duncan has given me a new guitar. Clarity is way better, clean Fender tone is really sweet, improvement in distorted tone is night and day. Not a metal pickup. This PU is designed for Bridge position.
