Er ... think of a heavy thing ... got it? Right, now think of something that makes that feel like a feather! The popularity of Doom Metal and it's derivatives made me go into mad professor mode and design a pickup that could out sludge a really really sludgy thing! The average for pickups in this genre is about 22k ... powered by alnico 5 or ceramic magnets ... well at Oil City we don't do wussy stuff like that, we got a 22k pair of coils, triple potted them, then mounted them on top of an alnico 8 magnet ... THEN we flanked that magnet with two powerful ceramic magnets! The resistance is irrelevant with this beast ... in fact resistance is futile! The neck pickup is a little more sedate at 17.5k single alnico 8!

I've a feeling you might be aiming this at the wrong crowd with all the best intentions :-)
Not my first choice in a big mahogany lump, but would like to try this in anything lighter (SG, tele, strat, etc).
Maybe a second pickguard for my SSS strat...
