They are certainly unique.

They might be a bit close though to the Piledriver in some ways, i.e., in terms of application.

I see those two pickups as the BKPs best suited to the old school Norwegian black metal sound, but I guess they can play various metal styles.  But both seem very metal oriented

I don't mind single coils buy I hate the typical 3 single coil strat deal because the middle pickup always gets In the way of my strumming. Plus ive never liked the sound of a middle pickup.  I am leaning towards the crawler overall I'd say

I wonder if they still have any of the autographed Crawlers left?

I think the Crawler would be a good measure for variety in your arsenal - more vintage but still hot.

Having just read darkbluemurder's review, I'm going to throw Black Dog into the ring. It was also recommended to me by Ben when I asked about something different for my Mustang, so seems to perform well in Fender guitars.

Hmm I wouldn't expect a black dog in a strat working well but I suppose it's a possibility.  I've never really looked at that pickup much

I must admit I rarely use the middlesinglecoil alone. Nearly always for splitted sounds together with neck-sc or splitted humbucker. I don't have a problem with strumming on a strat. Maybe something one has to get used to.

The Crawler does a great job in strats. It's mediumhot I'd say. My VHII is nearly as loud.

how does the crawler split? i could do that and mix it up a little bit. a little more versatile. i would do a double crawler but i'd have to rout the wood of the body to fit it.

Best BKP splits. Period.                  No other PU I have heard comes as close to sounding like an actualy SC.

yeah i thought i heard it was a good one for that. here is the guitar in question by the way, i'm thinking of doin a zebra with blue/black. it would look pretty cool.
