Does the job well once you figure it out
There are a lot of stencil machines out there with this exact design. Many of them just have other company's logos pasted on top via sticker. The instructions included are in somewhat broken English - you can generally understand what they're getting at, but it's often poorly worded. You're left unclear as to how exactly the paper should be inserted. It took me a few runs of trial and error but once I got the paper sheets separated and sorted in the right directions the results were excellent. My stencil went on crisp and strong after applying Stencil Stuff to the skin. If it holds up I'd say this is an excellent value that gets the job done. A great way to go if you don't want to spend $1000 on a fancy machine.

It has the sound you think of when you think rock guitar tone
I've previously had an EMG81 and DiMarzio Dominion in the bridge of my ESP Eclipse II. I found the EMG to be more gainy and scooped than I wanted, while the Dominion had a huge upper mid spike and crazy tight bottom end (unpleasantly so in terms of playing feel). While I sometimes miss a bit of that cutting upper midrange, this JB just has that wonderfully balanced sound and feel that's easy to play and sounds right. It's incredibly well rounded and has a great response that's neither too tight nor too loose. I find myself setting my amp and overdrive right at noon, with no need to compensate for anything. Honestly it's just a great sounding pickup and it's no wonder it's become a standard.
