Fully met all expectations! Works in absolutely any style and not only metal as it is stated in the description on the official website. I must say that I used to be an EMG guy and do not deny the quality of this company, so I have been using them for many years, but these pickups from Seymour Duncan gave me what I wanted in sound. Roughly speaking, they return the soul to the guitar, which now sings. You really feel the power and clarity of each chord at any gain level. If you compare the SH6 (Distortion) and Black Winter, the Winter sounds a little clarity than the SH6, which is heard by ear and on the frequency response analyzer of the DI. But still, SH6 sounds no worse and has enough high frequencies. I compared personally because I took the SH 6 for another guitar, now I have two Jacksons with Seymour and I do not regret it.
