For those of you debating whether to get these, or another particular set of 69 pickups, let me tell you something first. If there is one word that I could use to summarize these pickups, it would be "detail", because that’s exactly what separates these pickups from the others. These pickups are not slapped together; each individual pickup in the set is handled differently, as its own unique design, not 3 copies of an identical design. Each one has its own individual purpose and its own special qualities. You couldn't take one, switch its place with the other and expect the same results, because each one deliberately was created to suit its own position. These kinds of subtle details in the construction are nothing short of remarkable, and this is proudly shown in its tone. If that wasn’t enough, each set is constructed entirely by hand and scatterwound to ensure quality and David Allen himself is standing by to answer any questions or concerns you have. SO I RECOMMEND THEM.

My experience with D Allen pickups from the start was great. I emailed him with a few questions and he responded promptly with valuable information to help me choose a set of pickups.I dropped the pickups in today along with a fat new tone capacitor that i have already noticed made a nice difference. The pickups themselves are nice looking and feel quality built. The sound is rich, and holds great sustain. They responded very well to distortion and my wah pedal.
I love em! They are wonderful sounding & working things.
Strong clear non over powering Bass, clear mids and highs with no harsh icepick . Even when tone and volume dimmed. They give me just the right amount of thick OD through my 5e3 cranked without getting too muddy . Which made for a nice woman tone! They are very well balanced have a nice swirl to them , great woody tone . THe 2 & 4, sound less muddy then any other pickups I have had, and the quack is fantastic. Mid. pup alone nails the Anson Funderburg thang! So I am sold. LOL
They do have that character going on ,but at the same time they have something unique that I can not put into words, like they got more soul I guess. They are very pick sensitive.
The stuff about them being quieter than others is correct .They are noticably so as compared to CS Fender or 57/62 etc.
Diligent craftsmanship
