Anybody know how the magnets compare to those of say a humbucker, sizewise? thanks

...when a humbucker's coils kind of cancel each other out because they are seeing or sensing the string at two different places?

Which is a stronger magnet and where do these sit compared to the strengths of II and V? I see conflicting reports all over the internet and want to clear things up. Do you happen to have a link or pic of a datasheet proving your claims?

How would a humbucker sound with the coils in phase with each other but still in series? How about in phase but parallel? Any more noisy than a single-coil?

Looking to replace a filtertron-style in a tele knock-off with a humbucker of the same size that has its coils in series instead of parallel. Suggestions please thanks.

...get such high output out of pickups with such low DC resistance? For example, the X2N, their highest output pickup has a resistance of 15.8k. What type of wire do you think they are using? If it's 43 awg, how do they fit so much of it on there...

To wire a two-humbucker guitar like this? And if yes, what type of switches / pots will I need? Are there any guitars on the market with enough switches or space underneath the pickguard to place the switches without routing the body? -Two humbuckers -Phase switch for each humbucker -Phase...

...by changing the direction of the magnet. Won't the magnet's poles or magnetic flow change until they are in phase again?

So all these pickups are wound just about the same, but the differences are: Burstbuckers are overwound on the slug side making for very unbalanced coils, '57 Classics have equal winds for a slight unbalance due to the slug side's extra conductance, The 490T? Please enlighten me. Custom...

What's the difference between the two? The mini humbucker is a little smaller, right? http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/custom-shop/specialized-1/p90_soapbar_hum/

This pickup has three ceramic magnets in it. Looking at this picture, did they just replace the plastic shim and metal spacer with magnets?

Burstbucker Pro? '57 Classic (Plus)? All three rate around 8k. Also, is there any book or resource that has the release dates of pickups from both companies?

Let's say, hypothetically, I have two humbuckers with everything identical except one is wound to 8k with 42 awg wire and the other is wound to 10k with 43 wire resulting in almost the same output from the two. In general, what would be the tonal differences?
