Hey.

Has anyone tried these pickups? They're passive soapbars that fit in the EMG 40DC route dimensions.

I've searched everywhere but nobody on the web seems to have any opinions on these anywhere.

I've used them before and would recommend them, I'd describe them as smooth sounding above all else. I think they have changed the look and name of them since I last used one, they used to have gold writing on like the 6 string ones still do. I used one in this:

I'm sure they are still the same pickup as the description and specs are the same.

Thanks, we were going for snazzy ;). They are pretty hot (15.5K) so I'm sure you'd be happy on that front, they don't really sound like EMGs though if that's what you were going for. EMGs have a sound all of their own, a very clear modern sound which some say can sound sterile. The Claymores have more of a warm sound to them, but still very punchy. There I'm officially out of descriptive words for tone :).
