Review: Seymour, hear more. - I love Seymour Duncan pickups. I have them in my strat and they are fantastic. But this beast is something else. I bought a cheapo lap steel guitar to upgrade as a project. I wanted a single coil pickup, but one that was "hot". Then I came across the quarter pounder. I must say, its an incredible pickup, especially when you consider its form factor. It plays really smooth clean, but can turn into a snarling, growling beast,with loads of sustain. The most impressive thing for me, is that it has several voices, depending on how much volume your guitar is kicking out, not just full, middle and nearly off. It also reacts very well to the tone pot. All in all, if I was to recommend a pickup for a single pickup guitar, it would be this. Seymour knows his stuff.
Review: Great Pickup - Adds a great lead sound. Not too noisy and easy to install.
