Overall great pickup, slightly hot and can be shrilly if set to high up. If you get the right setup its a great pickup overall and can cut through. Its the most popular aftermarket pickup for a reason.

Does classic rock very well. Cuts through nicely.

I can't remember how much I paid for the pick up but I love it, excellent tone in my strat. Have it closer to the strings than most people would which I know kills sustain but I love how it drives the amp just that bit more without getting muddy. The definition between notes is brilliant. I have heard that they can be quite shrill with the top end but if you just roll the tone back a little bit this problem is none existent. I use the strat when I don't want a squeaky clean sound and rather than use abit of overdrive I just let this guitar do the work as it sounds much nice than any overdrive. The pick up if lowered to the correct heigh can do anything from jazz to slayer

I slapped this in my mustang and it totally beefed it up. I refrained from playing my stang for a while cuz the bridge pickup was sooooooo thin, but since I got this my mustang had become my main guitar

Have it in my Kramer EVH 5150 guitar, great for hard rock and 80s metal

With the JB, you can't go wrong... Jazz, Rock, Blues, Metal..... the list goes on, it works superbly for all genres, the ultimate pickup, as far as I'm concerned.

I use this for the bridge position in my Fender Kurt Cobain Road Worn Jaguar and the bridge position in the Yamaha Revstar.

I must say this pickup is very versatile, no regrets. I can play whatever I want with this pickup. Even you have it in crappy guitar, it still sounds good.

Really great pickup for the more distorted stuff
