So good! Had it as my ringtone one year but then i got a call while sitting in a room full of suits and thought maybe I should go back to a standard ring :D
 
I still think his duncans sounds better, I never liked the HS series from DiMarzio (The Injector are GOAT tho)

They bite more for sure but the old school tone is the FS-1 and HS3. More rounded, less gain, fatter. He sounds too trebly these days imo. I'd like to try the injectors at some point though. Quarter Pounder is a bitchin pickup too.

I’ve heard him get some good tones. Plus, he makes a living off of music, and that’s the dream. I would love to be in his shoes. I think Shawn Tubbs is a bad ass guitar player. Guy cuts it strict. If you were these guys, and a bunch of companies were throwing cash at you to make vids; I’m sure you would be doing the same. I would, I would be making as many videos as I could, day and night, squeezing out every cent I could get my greedy hands on!! I would shill the peavey backstage plus rerelease for the right price and scream about the majestic tones of said amp. I would play import guitars all day and say, “look, with the right set up and pickups, it as good as any guitar ever built!! TRUST ME! But DONT FORGET TO USE MY AFFILIATE LINKS! I would shill amps, and use the oldest trick in the content creator book, plug into a truly epic amp and aim the camera at a peavey solid state and wow the masses of YouTubers with my epic tones. I would point out the haunting mids, and macho rock tones and sing the praises of the peavey backstage plus and point out its solid state sounds as good as the best tube amps. I would shill and shill, and be shrieking with delight as the money poured in.

This is some 'If I were the devil' type stuff!
 
I had FS-1's in a Strat in the early 80's, when I had my band. They were great pu's. Not noise-cancelling, but a little more of everything good about single coils.
I had quite a few Yngwie Strats with the HS-3's. Though they weren't my favorite at the time, when I listen to my old recording with those pu's, I prefer them alot more than the Duncan set.

The Quarter Pounders were cool as well, just more midrange in their sound.
 


Ive had every Fender single worth af / seymours / Marzios / EMG yada.
Best singles pound for pound i have are the stock Jackson pups on my MIJ 1987' Charvel 1C.
Both clean & dirty. Got a SH-5 Duncan Custom brdg.
