Great pickup!
I have the 14k version. Great upgrade nearly free. Its screaming and hot with a nice warm tone. Still retains most of the tele clean sound, but Its for crunch and it does a great job at that. Mine has been wax dipped and is not microphonic. Totally shocked actually.

GREAT tone, couple quirks
So, I put the 9-10K bridge pup in my 2014 American Standard Tele for a HS configuration. I used 500K CTS 3/8 smooth shaft audio taper vol / tone pots with a .22mf capacitor in standard tele wiring fashion. It REALLY sounds great... like, I was wondering if I was out of my mind putting a cheap pup in my expensive tele... but I couldn't believe how good it sounded when it was done. The bridge on split sounds very close to the nocaster I had in the bridge. It couples very nicely with the twisted tele in the neck. The bridge on humbucker mode sounds fantastic... beefy but not muddy, midrangey but not honky, good clarity in the top end. Couple issues tho, #1- You can see in the pic, the pickup does not sit square in the bridge plate hole. The holes are slightly off. #2 - The holes were not tapped all the way through. The screws have to be put in with some force to cut the last little bit. But they went in. #3 - The springs are a little long, and could be a problem if you wanted the pickup closer than about 3/16 of an inch to the strings. #4 - there are no instructions. BUT you can find a diagram online. I soldered mine to a 4 way switch for Humbucker, Split, Split + Neck, Neck. FYI, the GREEN wire is FULL HUMBUCKER (I soldered to the position 1 lug), the RED/WHITE wire together is SPLIT (I soldered to the position 2 lug), the BLACK / BARE gets soldered to the back of the pot for ground. For this wiring config, I soldered neck to lug 3 and 4, then jumped a wire from 2 to 3, plus a wire from the main lug on bottom right (to vol pot) to main lug on top left (when control plate is upside down). Hope this helps somebody. It was a royal pain trying to figure out.EDIT: I downgraded to three stars. Pickup is microphonic at higher volume levels.EDIT: I upgraded back to 4 stars. After going back to the stock broadcaster, then a gfs 15k rail (horrible, muddy mess), I put this fleor 9k rail back in, and it really sounds great. Plays well with the twisted tele neck. No need to cool split. This time I wired it with a 3 way switch, no tone pot, and a 500k pot so the 250k tone pot could be used just for neck with a 500k resistor from neck lug on switch to ground to 'make it see' a 250k volume pot. Bridge pup sounds very much like a tele with volume rolled back and slightly more beefy than a p90 all the way up (but still somehow tele). Good clarity. Only microphonic at very high volume. Not an issue for me, as I run a hx stomp straight to the mixer. Prob wont change it again.

Punches well above it's weight class!
Don't hesitate on these. FLEOR is a hidden gem in the pickup market.I have them in three guitars now and they all sound lovely.

Clear sound, but microphonic at stage vol
Higher gain with a bit of grittiness. This is a revised review after playing the pickup with a full band at stage volume. For home use, the pickup sounds good. There is a bit of noise when you touch or move the guitar, but at low practice volume it is ok. Playing at stage volume magnifies the microphonics though. You can hear your strap creak like the ropes on a pirate ship. Every movement makes extra noises. The drummer actually asked, "What's up with that pickup?" I had to change to a different guitar. Ok for solo practice, unusable in full band setting.

Excellent
This was a nice pickup it works very well and it really added a lot of beef to my tele. It really sounds good and it makes for a very good telecaster pickup. It sounds very good on a clean channel as well as a overdrive channel on my Marshall and it was definitely worth buying.

Horrendously microphonic and not even close to humbucking
This product arrived with the baseplate loose from the bobbin, coils were microphonic and the pickup was buzzy as all get out.Didn’t even bother with installing it.

I"m impressed
I used this to have a humbucker at the bridge to compliment the neck HB. Works fantastic, nice and bright strong handles gain just fine and best of all,,,,,,,,, NO HUM!!!!!Just as good as the name brand stuff.

Pickup works, but sound didn’t appeal to me
This pickup is well-made, but I didn’t like the sound. Tone is subjective, so you might love it:

Really like this a lot. Sounds better than I thought it would
This sounds great for the price paid. Much better than cheap stock pickups. Good upgrade for a cheap guitar.
