The polls are done and all has been decided.
Using the words of KeeperOS, we present to the kind folks at Seymour Duncan, the pickup we have come up with as a group.
Our pickup is a humbucker primarily intended for the neck but with the option for a matched set where, one coil being a Hawkbucker/Diablo type blade, the other a Parallel Axis one. There will not be a screened logo on the bobbins to allow for any placement direction or position.
The tone is intended to be medium hotness, open and crunchy and primarily focused on versatility. EQ-wise there'll be a focus on the upper mids with the primary aim being good articulation and definition, even under heavy gain.
Some have expressed a special interest that when split it should go into an open and airy and harmonically rich lesser output tone. It should not be boomy nor have shrill high end.
We have decided as a group to let MJ and Seymour decide what magnet types are best to achieve the desired tone, and to decide whether the mate to this pickup will be a higher powered model for the bridge, or a lower powered to work as a neck in the event that this one is to be used as a bridge model.
Knowing that there is a minimum for each type, I'd like to ask that the individual users can request standard or tremolo spacing to suit their needs.
Thank you!
