I can come in here and talk up the Blackhawk haha. Really blows away any EMG's I've ever heard. Read noob_pwm newest review it's really accurate. It's so articulate, and not ear-piercing! I don't have any complaints really. Pickup height can make it go from really compressed and powerful to huge and open chords. It's hard to pick which is better but I'm getting to a sweet spot haha.
