Tone is so subjective.....you really won't know if you'll like it or not until you try it. The 1/4 lb'r has higher output, more oomph and poop than a standard vintage wind bridge pup. More P-90ish in nature, only darker. It's not going to give you much twang or spank. I like 1/4 lb'rs myself, but many don't. You will have to give it try and see if it meets your tone needs.

I used to have one in the neck of one of my strats. It sounded big.

FWIW I put a neck 1/4 lb'er in my MIJ Tele. Just what the Ranger was looking for.
