Raw and heavy Exploxer sound

The right ingredients for that special sound

A seriously good pickup

One of the hottest pickups out there. Period.

This one is a monster! Excellent in any style of heavy music.

I was amazed by its clarity and definition while playing on lower gain as well

Excellent pickup - though not for everyone

Pretty much summed up above.. If this is the kind of high-output pickup you are after, then look no further.

It's tone-shaping capability is exceptional; high output, good for heavy rock, dirty blues etc.

Although I have only used it as a neck pickup.

The sound of Rock

It's loud, foul, soulful and dirty. It works extremely well with a down-tuned guitar. It seems like a lot of people prefer the original, but I don't. I actually sold an original 1978 Dirty Fingers to replace it a reissue - they have more bite, sound brighter (but not buzzy), and contrary to the old ones, these are wax potted. If you're looking for a warm, aggressive sounding pickup, or make your Gibson sound like a Gibson with more output, I can't recommend the Dirty Fingers enough.

I fitted this pickup to my Baker B1 Bushwacker and it sounds fantastic from nice clean to great over drive tones. What inspired me to fit this, is my les Paul is fitted with one on the bridge position. However the Bushwacker is a neck thru construction mahogany body but lighter in weight than the les Paul, but overall the results are fantastic. Would highly recommend this pickup as it has what most of us are looking for.

Excellent Hard Rock/Punk Pickup

I wanted a higher output pickup for my Les Paul's bridge position and after looking at a few Seymour Duncans decided to give the Gibson Dirty Fingers a shot. It didn't disappoint. Great output, but without being muddy or sharp, perfect smooth crunch through my Dr Z amp. Would highly recommend!

Great sound!

One of the best pickups I've ever tried,

I use it in both treble and rhythm positions on my 2007 Gibson SG.

They give a very good versatile sound and suits well for my type of music - high-gain melodic punk.

It provides the clarity and tone i need for individual leads as well the noisy-yet-controlled distortion of fast rhythmic riffs.

No noise whatsoever unless intended.

It'll work well for rock n' roll with screaming mids a la Tube Screamer as well as in heaver metal and such.

Overall very good pickups!

Lives up to the hype.

I'm not a huge pickup aficionado, but I knew I wanted something loud and punchy, and this is very loud and very punchy.

I've had no problems with it in the several years I've owned it, and I've dropped it into a few different guitars and it's never come up short. Currently have it in my semi-acoustic, and the tone is brilliant.

My favourite feature is that it is incredibly quiet when not playing: no feedback, no hum, nothing.

My least favourite thing about it is that even with the volume rolled back all the way, there is still some slight noise when the strings are hit. This could just be dodgy wiring on my end.
