GFS Dream 180 on Tele Bridge

Does anyone have this pickup installed and working? I just got mine (H57 bridge).
I'm having such a blast with GFS's mini humbucker in one Tele that before I go routing out the body for this full size humbucker in another Tele, I'm considering maybe getting a matched set of these alnico v mini's.

Thanks for your reply!
Can we elaborate a bit on your tonal quality? I have a Gibson es335 and find the classic 57s a bit to dark so I resign this instrument to 'jazzier' covers that I play.
I play quite loud and aggresive forms of drinkin' Blues with a lot of slide. P90's are my choice in my other instruments but on this one, I hope the Dream 180 will give me the p90 balls with some interesting added tones ( as per the description on GFS' site for this pup).

How can you best describe your bridge tone played wide open on this pup??

Thank you.

I have a set in a Washburn HB-35, 335 copy. Great sounding pickups for blues. Not very humbuckerish sounding, more like fat single coils very close to the P90 sound. You can get fat T-Bone Walker tones from the neck pup, and nice biting Freddie King sounds off the bridge. Very versatile set IMHO. Hopefully this helps.
