   I first bought a set of APG pickups in late 2015, when this picture was taken. Only 2 weeks ago, the neck pickup finally gave in, through no fault of it's own. The guitar is a 2011 60th Anniversary Edition, American Telecaster, together the guitar and those pickups have endured over 20,000 hours of play in that decade, through the entirety of my music degree, and into my professional life as a musician and busy teacher, that guitar is my no.1, it's my inner voice and the pickup swap to the APGs was an integral part in forming that voice all that time ago. There is nothing they won't do, and convincingly, they are mocking birds. If I need a fat jazz tone, a thin glassy funk sound, a more intimate kind of clean tone where I want lots of definition in a chord, a full on hendrix style neck pickup quacky-ness, it's got it all and none of it sounds inauthentic. The compliments on my tone are constant every week. I'll end with this, and probably the most assuring thing I could say- They made me stop hunting for so much gear! The abundance of satisfaction I get out of just plugging straight in to literally any amp and playing this combo of guitar/pickup is unparalleled, they make even the worst backline amps sound passable, and the best of them sound better than ever.
   
   I'm now ordering a replacement for the neck pickup and will continue to give Andrey and his work the highest of praise, a great product, it competes with the best of anything you'll hear, and I can give it at LEAST a 20,000 hour guarantee!

   i bought this and i have another tele with a gibson 57 RI to compare with, all else is same. what the description says about open mids is right. gibson's upper mids make it sound more nasal to my ears, but then again, that's the sound that's been around for about 70 years so it has kind of established itself as such. take it or leave it.
   anyways, telebucker is way more versatile IMO. you can get the jazz sound like Bickert, Mike Stern or any other tele-jazzer, but even go to single coil territory, no problem. i have a telebucker bridge pickup in the same guitar (and a middle pickup that's hidden underneath the pickguard) and this is probably my most versatile guitar.
