great PAF style pickup at perhaps any price point
6 of 7 found this helpful This pair of Seth Lover PAFs by Seymour Duncan were installed in a 1995 Hamer Studio with a rosewood fretboard, mahogany body and a flamed maple cap so I am not about to describe how they sound in a Les Paul by Gibson or one of the LP clones. I have tried the standard Duncans that came with the guitar (JB and a '59) and was never happy with the JB though the '59 was decent. I have tried other pickups by Duncan and Gotoh and Manilus in this guitar but none were going where I wanted to go. The Seth Lover's were my last hope. The dislike with all the PAF style pickups I tried was they helped to make the guitar sound brighter and this Hamer Studio does not need help like that!! From what I read about the Lovers I was afraid they too would brighten an already bright guitar. NOT THE CASE. From the first instant I was pleased with what I heard and now several weeks later I am really loving what they do. The neck is very articulate and clear but warmth is available at all times. Rolling off the tone control just opens up more possibilities from this pickup and it remains useful throughout the range of tone settings. The bridge is likewise useful at all tone settings but it really can give a nice bite and brings to mind some sounds from Bloomfield and Clapton way back when. The Hamer volume controls are interesting beasts and when fully open they really let some high end frequencies come through. Playing with the volume and tone together just keeps revealing more and more great sounds. I am presently playing all kinds of music except metal through a '65 Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue with stock Jensen speaker and a Vox AC15C1 with the Celestial greenback speaker. The guitar sounds great through both. I am not at all sure how these Lovers would sound through a high gain amp but maybe someone else has tried that and can address the situation. I am really pleased with the Lovers and would have paid more for this sound if I had to. Frankly they sound better than more expensive pickups I tried in this guitar.

Nice match for my 2015 Gibson SG
Just installed these in my 2015 Gibson SG Special and I am very impressed. The guitar came with Gibson 61 Zebra hum buckers and sounded a bit harsh and thin. Then the PCB wiring went bad on one volume pot so I pulled the whole board out and rewired without it. All new pots and 50s wiring so why not some new pups too? I chose the Duncan Phat Cats but was unhappy with the exaggerated upper midrange that P90s exhibit. Really nice pups but not for me. Put the Gibson 61s back in but still the thin and unpleasant sound. So the next move was these Duncan APH-1 alnico II pros and they are delightful. Very alnico II sound and I like it but they do have some body that Seth Lovers and Antiquities do not have. Perfect for an SG, which does not have the inherent "body" of a true Les Paul. Really quite pleased with these pups!! Been playing since 1969 so lots of guitars and pups have passed thru these hands and ears.

easy to set up and use
from opening the box to making the first measurement was about 5 minutes and that includes searching for the necessary AAA battery. Really this could not be easier in any way. Attaching the extension arm is probably the most difficult piece of the puzzle but I had no trouble at all with that step. I am very happy with the product and how it works. Readouts are very easy to read and nicely lit, which is helpful since my turntable is inside a cabinet and lighting is poor. Thanks to Riverside Audio. By the way shipping was lightning fast.
