Well, I can speak on the area HOT T.. and I will say it is fairly hot. Ha. It is a great tele bridge pickup, not lacking in the highs. It has a very good jangle about it at as well. Roll the tone back and you can really get some great mids out of it as well. It snaps just like the Area T, but has a little more chunk. Also noiseless as I know you know.
I'd recommend, and probly purchase again for another project.
