I went to the EMG website and read the FAQ's, Basically what I thought about the difference in volume turns out to be a concern, but they do sell some type of little widget that will allows you to adjust the volume levels so the match up better, the David Gilmour pick-ups look good, I don't have any experience with EMG's in a guitar, but some with a Guild Bass, Hey they are good strong pick-ups and noise won't be a problem like the single coils are....
