I installed these into a 2006 Gibson Les Paul Studio along with the Triple Shot pickup surrounds. I was looking for some versatility for some studio work. I was very pleased with the results. I wired it all myself, took about 2 hours. The bbeauty about having these with the triple shot is that you get all options available to you, Series, Parallel, Single 'rail' and P90. I love the sound on the neck pickup in parallel, gives a good bluesy tone. The rail can sound a bit thin on its own and generally never used it but thats just a matter of taste.
