Great sound clarity
Installed them into my Gibson SG Standard and was surprised by such a strong improvement in sound. So tight, transparent and agressive in bridge voice 1, and more fat and thicker sound in voice 2. Same in the neck, voice 2 neck very smooth. Single coil mode sounds quieter, but almost like real single coils. I have never experienced such variability with my Gibson SG. Also improved in clean channel sound, much brighter than gibson pickups (490r, 500t).
Nice build quality, and full kit of accesoires you need.
Strongly recommended!
P.S. If you're interested, the battery fits in the Gibson SG cavity with no issues, no need to additional milling.

Fantastic PAF's and much more
I am very happy with these pickups. They even do a reasonable split coil sound. These are not Metal or very high output pickups. Not even in active mode. They really don't sound like active pickups. They have clarity and classic warmth and amazing variety of tones. A bit fiddly to install, but I found the manual sufficiently clear. Some people have complained about that but I was installing this on a Les Paul that was explained clearly enough. I was not expecting these to be so classy and I am permanently keeping them in the LP.

The ideal PAF tone and more?
Never thought I'd write this, being a long time PAF tone chaser, from vintage to modern takes, passives mostly, I tried almost everything that boutique and mass produce companies are offering in that PAF field.
I recently started using the Fluence Modern in some of my guitars but gave a shot to the Classic set. The woody, snarling, bitey mid is what I missed and the Classics deliver tons of it!
Regarding the 3 voices, Voice 1 is my go to, voice 2 is a bit too similar to 1 imho and voice 3 is surprisingly strong, almost entering the p90 territory but still very glassy stratty.
I have a set on a Viper and an Eclipse and they found the breath and grit they lacked before! (previously set with SD Seth Lover set!)
It's not the cheapest set of HB you can find, it's overly hyped, but not overrated. Also, wiring these Fishman pickups makes you better at soldering.
Treat yourself with a set!
