Review: Great PAF Style Pickups - If I would’ve given these 4 stars, I really think I would be under-rating these pickups. I have these in an all mahogany LP style PRS & they sound great. I put the Tonerider AC2’s in and PRS semi hollow & they sound great too. FWIW, I liked the AC4’s easily as good than the DImarzio 36’s in this specific guitar (AC4’s are staying in it too!), and I liked the AC2’s quite a bit better than the Duncan WLH in the semi hollow. They split well too. I know tone is in the ear of the beholder, but the AC4’s are very close with the Dimarzio’s, just maybe not as much mid-range, and they’re very dynamic. They AC2’s are much less compressed than the Duncan WLH, not quite as hot, and to me, give a much more authentic PAF vibe. I would imagine the AC2’s would be more comparable to the Seth Lover set with nice, rich mids, with the AC4’s being a touch warmer & with a more balanced eq. It could be that these pickups are just really well matched to the guitars, but they really surprised me and sound awesome. Great clean & dirty, good clarity, dynamic & open sounding. These are very nice pickups at ANY PRICE, and a steal for what they cost.
Review: Love these pickups! I highly recommend them. - Worth every penny! Professional level pick-ups. You won't be sorry buying Tone rider pick ups Excellent tone, top quality built performance!
