They can do anything. i like all the voices. I put them in a Gibson les Paul, i get a classic humbucker sound, active humbucker and like a very strat like Tone even if its a les paul all in one guitar no volume drop in singelcoil voice, thats worth alot. I replaced fishman classics for the 3 voice modern. Much better in my opinion, you can choose to connect high or "lower" output on the connections on the back, recomend the low(its still alot of output) but depends what your going for i guess. I can play anything from John Mayer, acdc , gnr, in flames and all kinds of metal. Their super precise compared to other pickups. Highgain distortion you can still hear all the strings seperatley on big chords. Absolutely would recommend best most versatile pups ive ever tried
