hey guys just wondering how these two pups compare in tone?
I have the am std pups but am seriously thinking about swapping out for the fat 50's...
Has anyone tried both? Is it worth swapping out?

The Am Std pickups are crisper and more percussive vs. the F50s which are smoother and sweeter if this makes any sense to you. You can mimic the tonality of the F50s with the Am Std pickups by simply lowering their height on your pickguard.
