Or multiple suppliers maybe :)

You are totally right about the capacitance. My all measurements are wrong. Indeed the capacitance of humbuckers must be in the range of pFs, not nFs. I can't measure the capacitance by now with my gadgets. But i keep measuring and publishing those values just for comparing with other pickups...

Who defies a pickup to be a "bridge pickup" or "neck pickup"? In the 50s, PAFs werent wound like this. Nor werent at Fender either. As far asi know, it is all started with Seymour Duncan. He wound jazz and '59 neck and then every pickup maker produced "calibrated" neck and bridge models :)

Less inductance = lower power? Not everytime. BW bridge has 6.03H but it was really powerful. Just like Steve Morse Bridge has 5.60H yet it is louder even than Super Distortion. On the contrary Air Zone has 8.42H have less power than the rest. It is not just the magnetic flux density because...

I have nickel and they are YFS branded on the surfaces ;)

Yesterday i made en experiment with my Duncan Full Shred. I measured the top of a one sample pole piece which was ~300G. I replaced it with another hex that's longer and the final magnetic flux density decreased ~260G. Then i cut that pole piece and make it shorter than the original full shred...

Thank you very much :)

And its neck version; https://www.tonejourney.com/post/seymour-duncan-black-winter-neck-review

Thank you very much sir :)

I haven’t really been into high-output pickups for quite a long time, so the Black Winter didn’t excite me at all when it first came out. But recently, thanks to one of my readers, I had the chance to try the standard neck and the Blackened bridge — and surprisingly, I really liked them. In my...

Mojotone '59 Clone Hot for the bridge and '59 Clone Neck.

Warm yet clear bridge, bright neck hb. Act of wisdom :)

ADM Neck in the bridge, hmm? Well, ADM Neck measures 10.59K (6.43K S/4.19K N) DCR, 4.87H inductance, 380G density. Sounds warm yet clear in the neck. In the bridge, i believe it could work. Especially if you prefer humbuckers like PAF bridge pickups. Generally, i find those humbuckers with...

For the Tele necks i would go for Fender's "Twisted Tele" pickup. It sounds much closer to the strat neck pickup which is very good.

Yes, indeed it is a ceramic bar magnet.
