Chop Chop

Bought this to replace my bridge strat pickup. Needed the extra push. Paired with two Dimarzio Crouser (bridge) on neck and middle. 500k pots and orange drop capacitors do the job just right. Not traditional. Just right.

Great Humbucker

I bought the Chopper to replace the noisy single coil in the bridge position that came stock on my strat. I never was all that into the sound of the bridge pickup, even when using distortion. But the Chopper... Oh boy. The tone is amazing. Pinch harmonics really come through with a nasty, screaming tone. I almost can't stop doing that. I'm still not a big fan of the clean tone. It's not that the clean tone isn't good. I just prefer a thicker more evenly balanced tone when I'm playing clean. So I tend to go for the neck, or neck and middle pickup for that. The Chopper does everything I wanted it to do. It's really great having a noiseless pickup. Just having that has showed me how tight and pure the overdrive actually is on my amp. I would buy the pickup again for sure.

The Chopper

I got and try several guitars, and although I have a couple of Les Pauls, I always felt more confortable playing Strats... probably is the scale, or the balance... I don't know. But I do know that I wanted the power of a humbucker in my Fender Strat. I am not able to modify my guitar, and I don't like those Frankestein experiments either. So I went to The Chopper. Is the best mic I ever had. The volumen pot really works on this pickup, and I have now the power of a humbucker in a noiseless single that is easy to install and fits my Strat perfectly. There are other pickus that produce more power, but this is the right one for me.
Rated 5/5

unbelievable

Amazing strat style clean tones, handles gain just as good. Dropped one one the middle of a strat/tele hybrid guitart. It makes the guitar extremely versatile. I can play metal, blues, rock, whatever. In my humble opinion it shines most when doing hi gain metal solos.
