What would you market a 22K hot humbucker for?

:P
You mentioned Iommi. Iommi's prototype (Released instead as El Diablo) is 22K.
SD markets the Slug for Stoner/Doom.
BKP markets the Warpig and the Pig 90 for Stoner/Doom.
OCP markets the H.E.L/H.A.L for Stoner/Doom. I don't see what the problem is.
My main guitar for standard tuning Metallica-type tonez? An ES semi-hollow with an alnico IV humbucker. Whatever works for you.
Obviously there is a market for this. Want vintage PAFs instead? I'm sure oil city can wind you as many as you want to buy
I was just querying Ash's knowledge of who he thinks he's marketing these too and I got my answer. You'd be better off making a 57 classic or a Tar-back or a bag of super skunk.
Anyway, with such fervent customers it's all rather moot how he markets them.
The thing about doom...its not really a very specific sub genre, its more of a scene or attitude towards music...so within doom you have some stoner bands (not The Sword, incase anyone is wondering) and you have some more thrashy bands (HOF) and you have your noise bands (Sunn O)))) and you even have your purely acoustic/non distorted stuff like Earth, you have some brutal stuff like Indian and Nails..then you have what is now modern doom like YOB
All these guys use different gear...the high output pickup guys are some of the more thrashy/hardcore influenced bands (eg Matt Pike and his dirty heshers) and i know the guy in Nails uses EMG's...but if you talk about the pure doom stuff like a YOB or Samothrace or Bongripper etc...then your talking PAF style pickups in a majority of cases.
I dont think marketing to Doom is bad thing...but
maybe needs more parallels to bands, so it hits the right subsection.
