Quality is not the best

First pair came with the legs bent 45º inwards, most probably due to the cable being too tight around them from factory. The baseplate metal is very thin thin and impossible to straighten back in shape without breaking the legs (my tech warned me they would break and of course it happened), apparently it's very common with SD pickups.
Thomann refunded me and I got another pair, which again had one of the legs slightly bent, not 45º like the previous but still enough to make it hard to screw it from the triple shot.
So 2 out of 2 pickups were not up to standards.
The sound instead is very good. For anybody that likes to play several genres with a single guitar it does the job remarkably well, especially the "Hot" version for the bridge.
In humbucker mode (Series & parallel) sounds great, same for the P90, while the single coil output is way too low to sound anywhere close to a real single coil guitar. I'd say this is the only weak point but P90 and humbucker modes are very good, which makes it a better option than splitting high output pickups to single coil, at least in this case the P90 is a killer.

J
At a Les Paul bridge
Jo.S. 03.05.2020
I put it in a Epiphone Les Paul Ultra 2 bridge. It's the greatest addition I could ever do... Basically if I knew better I would just get an even cheaper guitar probably (that would have of course a comfortable fretboard to play and good looks) and just change the electronics-pickups. Ready to go!
So, the pickup is great!!!! I have it with a 3-position switch on the right of the bridge. With the SHPR1-N also on the neck you can play virtually ANYTHING!!! The single-coil is convincing and clears it up for strumming and clearer tones or funk (ok it's not becoming a tele, but still), the P90 is the greatest for rock, and you have a fat tone with the humbucker when you need extra beef!! So, my reccomendation to conclude: try a guitar with P90s. You think you need that tone, as I thought? Buy it. You are ok without it? Go buy something cheaper, but certainly with a coil-split... It opens up so many possibilities..
My only regret: I never played something enough metal to need the extra hot component of the pickup. If I went back, I'd get the set of 2 pickups together (with the "mild" bridge pickup) and save some money.

Gutes Replacement

Ich habe diesen Pickup und einen SHPR-1N P-Rail in einer mittelpreisigen Humbuckerklampfe verbaut. Dort waren die Pickups über ein Push/Pol schon splittbar. Zusammen mit zwei Push/Poll Potis und einem 3 Wege-Schalter kann ich jetzt noch einige sinnvolle Kombinationen mehr schalten.

Über die Push-Pols Potis schalte die interne Pickupverdrahtung.
beide Potis unten: paraller Humbucker
erstes Poti gezogen: nur Single-Coil (Richtung Fe….)
zweites Poti gezogen: nur P-90 (Richtung Gi…).
alle beiden Potis gezogen : serieller Humbucker

Der 3 Wege Schalter wählt – wie gehabt - dann den entsprechenden Pickup aus.
Position 1 : Nur Brücke
Position 2: Brücke und Hals
Position 2: Nur Hals

Damit erhalt man schon zu den Originalen verdächtig ähnliche Sounds. Z.B. Zwischenposition mit Single Coil – geht schon sehr in Richtung Fender. Oder singender P-90 Sound mit Stegtonabnehmer. Im Humbucker Modus fettes Rockbrett. Vieles ist möglich. Leider wird der SHPR-2B noch nicht im Set mit dem SHPR-1N angeboten und ich musste mir mein Set selber zusammensuchen. Den Pickups liegt eine gute Einbauanleitung bei. Weitere Verdrahtungsmöglichkeiten können auf der Seymore Duncon Homepage abgerufen werden. Im Internet findet man auch gute Klang-Beispiele. Der Umbau der Gitarre hat nicht länger als 2 Stunden gedauert. Umgang mit Lötkolben und lesen von einfachen Schaltplänen vorausgesetzt.
Was mir jetzt noch fehlt, ist Graphitlack für das Elektronikfach. Im Singelcoilmodus ist jetzt - wie bei vielen Singlecoil-Gitarren leider üblich - das Brummen der Leuchtstoffröhren-Trafos zu hören.

Fazit: Meine Gitarre wurde durch diese Pickup Kombination in Klangvielfalt tüchtig aufgewertet. Umbau war ohne weitere bauliche Veränderung möglich, da die Maße einem Standardhumbucker entsprechen. Der Sound hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt.
