Soldered it in and plugged in....and the pickup sounds..not so good. Its got a blues honk/glisten to it and I hate that. It sounds pretty good on the highs but the lows have that glisten and I just sounds bad. I'm gonna go put the old Duncan back in, I geuss I'm gonna stick with it now. Its a Jb and sounds great, but I want a more metal-ly sound. I'm gonna do some more searching around, but first I'm gonna send the EMG back....p.o.s. :mad: :(
