I finally managed to install it and am very happy with them. At first the sound didn't grab me but the more I play it the more I why it's so good.

Some quick tonal observations:
  • VERY even response, no icepick anywhere or peaky sounds
  • completely noiseless and I ripped out all the shielding I had done for the stock pickups. I had some directional noise but it's probably from standing to close to my POD adaptor
  • bridge pickup has got that tele twang and neck pickup has got that fat warm but clear sound
  • output is a little bit lower than the Broadcaster and Twisted Tele pickups that were stock in my Baja tele
Thank you Bill (RIP) and Becky!

Here it is with an Allparts matte pickguard:
