    i think it sounds great
    i went for warman zebra humbuckers, but i think i need to raise them a little higher
    the coil split is great when i want to get a nice little gain reduction

    i also need to shim one floyd saddle, by 1.4mm(!)

    I've heard good things about the Warman stuff but have yet to hear one in the flesh, so to speak. They are reasonably priced from what I remember. Are you able to post a sound demo?
