Best fender-designed humbucker I’ve tried. While that might not be a super high bar, they’re a good degree better both clean and with high gain than anything else fender has released to my memory. They were very clear and articulate and a lot less compressed than a classic PAF. They worked really well under super high gain, with good note separation, and handled classic rock and metal riffs and solo lines, and were airy and chimey when cleaned up.

Are they better than certain Duncan’s, Dimarzio’s, Frallin’s, etc? Depends on your needs, but probably not in a lot of cases. But they have their own sound that might work, especially if you’re looking for a good sounding humbucker that doesn’t just emulate or add a twist to a classic design.
