OK, here are some pics of me putting it in place and wiring it up. My tone pot is my push/pull to tap the coils. This thing fits, but barely. I think it is the same depth as the standard bridge route, so just enough of the pickup sits above the bridge plate and the other 90% is underneath- reminds me of an iceberg.
Initial impression of tone: This thing is truly a fire-breathing beast of a pickup. LOUD, LOUD, LOUD. I would definitely compare it to an overwound P-90. When coil tapped, it tames down, but not to vintage specs. Still sounds like a hot single when tapped. I can mellow it out with my volume knob and turn the tone down a bit on position 2. It'll get a hot Keef sound there. Full strength, well it's pure hot smokin' Texas blues solo tone. As you would expect, it also takes away some of that really bright tele chime and focuses more on the mids and lower mids.
As another point of reference, this pickup is NOT as hot as hot rails or similar pickups. Even though the DC resistance is 30K, it tonally does not sound like a 'metal' pickup. I think the best description I've heard is "pearly gates for tele". This is somewhere between a P-90 and an Antiquity humbucker or Pearly Gates humbucker. Probably not for everyone, especially if you're a fan of vintage tele tones. But if you like to rock, then look no further.
