Anyone have experience with this Pickup? Specifically in a Les Paul?

Very tight, saturated, mids are good. The Jugg was a mahogany body if I remember correctly.
I did the mag swap and put that into a JB, basically takes out that weird bump it has and makes it more Alt 8 like; sounded great in a down tuned LPC.
Think you’d be good, depending on what you’re going for.

You're describing the Duncan Custom-5 (SH-14).Detroit1973":394bv1so said:I'm thinking a pickup that is somewhere between a JB & a Custom. A Pickup that is nice & Chunky, Warm, Aggressive with Some Bloom on the low strings when strumming chords. I'd also like the Pickup to NOT be fizzy on the high end.
Interesting. Thank you!Rising Farce":1qql07sr said:Rex Rocker":1qql07sr said:I'm interested as well. I'm thinking about dropping one in my PRS Singlecut. How hot is it? Can it hang with the Duncan Distortion and Black Winter?
It's pretty close but lacks the "fizz" of the Distortion, which may make it seem less hot. The Alt 8 also punches harder in the lower midrange.

Highly recommended in a Les Paul. I have mine now in my ESP Horizon, where it replaced a JB...I wanted more chunk, more body, less shrill highs, still a good Alnico 'bloom' in that guitar. Before that I had it in a Les Paul Custom.
