I did for a bit. Sounded too compressed to me. Almost like a compressor pedal...

| While I did like the sound of the 705 in my G2, I now have a Steeltronics pickup, and I could recommend them! |

my favorite is factory single coil, but using 705s so I don't fight the hum.

Dan,
FWIW, I put a Telonics X12 on my G2 and never looked back. It is as close to what I want as my technique will probably ever allow. |

Dan,
I had a Mullen G2 with Alumitone pickups and thought they sounded great. Mickey Adams helped me put them in. It is not the easiest project but can be done.
Am attaching a couple of youtube clips for you to listen to.

Excuse my C6th playing. Not really very good at it

Good question.
I have a 712 (12 string version of the 710) in my mica SD12 G2 and love it. When I was researching which humbucker would work best for me several people here recommended the 710/712 series as the brightest sounding humbucker out there. Bought mine direct from the Bill Lawrence website and had it within a week. It works great for me as I play without picks so needed something very bright. Also, I was able to wire it with a coil tap switch so have the best of both worlds...bright humbucker and ultra bright single coil 
I should mention as an FYI, the links to the 2 SD12 G2 songs below were recorded on the stock Mullen single coil before I replaced it with the BL712...

I have 2 G2’s and have had Alumitones, 705’s and Mullen single coils. I settled on the Mullen single coil. YMMV.

Hi Mark. That was a better tone than I got from my Mullen Royal Precision which was so bright in the tone department that it would take the skin off your teeth! Hope you're doing well buddy.

| I've currently got Bill Lawrence LXR-16 in my G2 and I like it. To me it sounds sweeter than the Telonics 409 I had in there before which seemed very hot and I couldn't get it adjusted to my liking. Maybe in a different guitar. |
