I had them in a Thinline that I since traded, the neck took a bit of adjusting. It was very sweet sounding once the height was sorted out, but it did take a little while to find the sweet spot.

Did someone try a wide range reissue, and how is the sound ? Because I have an AO 70's Tele with the Cunife wide range humbucker, and I find that the pickup is very soft sounding, especially on the low E and the A. That's a bit disappointing, I was hoping for more clarity and definition. And the wide range pickup magnets seem to be very weak, at least compared to the bridge pickup magnets.
Is this normal ?
I installed a pair into an AVRI 72 Thinline. The neck pickup was the trickiest to get right, it seems the sweet spot is very narrow (as confirmed by that Telenator setup post floating around online). But once you get it right… man what a sound. Here’s mine.
