I got this to replace my Suhr Classic T bridge pickup which is a great, somewhat beefier Broadcaster style pickup. I loved it but ordered my Classic T back in 2006 before the SSC option was available and the noise sometimes presented a problem. Given my experience with Steel Pole 43s on other guitars in the past, I decided to give the Split Steel Pole a chance to see if it could provide that goodness without the noise. I’m pleased with the results. This pickup sounds great, P90ish but retaining some of the Tele bite without the noise. I paired it with a Split Blade Tele in the neck position and that combination is working well. I’m sticking with the 250k pots for now. Great pickup!
