That guys an idiot. I will tell you though, I have them in my PRS I just bought and other then the WCR's I had a while back these are the best I've heard. They are very low output but the harmonics are incredible and they are so clear. You strum a chord and every strings rings out. Ive seen them go for 450 for new ones but I'd buy WCR's 1st but these are great pickups!
