Yes, they're very fine pups to say the least... They seem 'more refined' in their tone than, say, the RRs or the BDs. Owning both of these latter two, I'm certainly not dissing them for their inherent sonic qualities. But the Emeralds are glassy and smooth, and when dug into, they've got a real nice balanced 'bite' to them. The neck pup is super powerful, thick, rich and smooth with a lot of articulation...sensitive yet BIG. Melding the middle and bridge pups has resulted in my new rhythm zone for this particular 3 pup axe. It's got the thickness and bite all in one. As for the bridge alone, it's sharp - ringing - edgy - and when really pulled hard, nice and loaded with those bubbling overtones...
Clips coming, just been swamped.
