I have one in the neck on my Tele Thinline (Nocaster in the bridge). I like it. Very detailed.

They've been my 2003 LP for 19 years now... I love them, and I swap out pickups quite a lot, but not these.

I have an older (not vintage) Les Paul Custom. I paid $1800 for it, and it came with Throwback pickups. I didn't plug the guitar in at the store because there was some guy playing for a long time, and it felt good.

I was very disappointed by how it sounded when I plugged it in. I pulled the pickups out and sold them on Reverb, then I put Antiquities, and I love them. The guitar is smooth, well-balanced, and clear-sounding.

The guitar plays great (headstock repair) and looks cool. It went from one that I didn't use because it didn't sound good to being one I use all the time and sounds great.
