but yeah, mean90 is in the bridge. had to lower the neck pickup a bit and raise the bridge to get the volumes to even out. i thought it would be the other way around based on how they describe these pickups.

I think that sort of look, also with black pickguard screws (keeping the chrome ones on the chrome plates) would look awesome on that guitar as I said in San Diego.

that does look rather nice, though i'd probably try the black screws first. had i stayed with humbuckers, it would seem a no-brainer to do the chrome robroes, but i kinda like having the pole-pieces running down the middle.

If I like the dream 90 I think I’ll replace the bridge pickup with one of these:

Just got my Jag HH in today and it is absolutely amazing. I'm definitely digging the playability, quality, and tone. I'm definitely going to look in to the GFS Mean 90s set though for replacement pickups. I enjoyed the demo too much of Dots, not to think about it.
