As I mentioned earlier, I really wasn't too happy with the Duncan Custom 5 that came standard with my V, so I ordered a BBQ. Well the p'up arrived today...so I installed it, setup the guitar, balanced the pickups, and....
It RIPPED!! The BBQ immediately gave me that throaty snarl I like, and the spongy low end from the C5 was gone...that "stop on a dime" low end came back!! Thankfully, I don't have to go through the requisite shopping list of pickups now.

Cool! thanks for the review, I was thinking of ordering a set of BBQ's, now I know I will, as thats what I am looking for in my Flyin V! I got a old super distortion duncan thats history in it now.. its weak and microphonic.
Thanks Craggin!
