I really like them, but do not love the. A bit to much output for me, but still capable of great cleans on the neck pup. I lowered them down which really helped, where with 57/08s, I raise them up quite a bit. Still, I was OK with them enough to never change them out of my Artist 3s, and they are my favorite electric guitars. 57/08s just make them that much better for my style. If you like heavier tones, you may think they are fantastic.
