Bartolini guitar pickups...wow

Well I've had such good experiences with bartolini bass pickups that when I got my new ibanez artcore semi-hollow guitar, I figured I'd try out some bartolini humbuckers in it. Well, I ordered the pbf-55 and pbf-57 aka the jazz guitar combo and they came in today. Got them wired in a few hours ago and I really am amazed. I've played a lot of nice guitars but I've never played anything with this much clarity. They are bright without sounding too trebly or thin.

Bartolini isn't well known for their guitar pickups, but these things don't disappoint. They sound great and look great too. I will try to get some pictures of them installed soon, maybe some day some sound clips.

I won't go tellin everyone, but anyone who sees my guitar will know. They've got shiny nickel covers with the word bartolini in the corner. No exposed pole-pieces on these things either, I've never really seen that on a humbucker before but it looks so classy.
