Just to be sure, you know that the Firebird pickups (generally) fit P-90 soapbar routes?

16" all the way through?

No idea, but they are supposed to.

Yeah, but the nut also has a radius, and the locking nut is non-adjustable per string. As far as blocks are concerned, they certainly make an audible different by material. By size, I haven't tested, but I assume yes as well.

In a Strat with a non-locking tremolo I like the Pearly Gator.

Only slightly worse than the usual endorsement bollocks.

Before you do all that stuff try a few different lubricants in the nut slots. I use a mixture of graphite and vaseline.

Posting a video link with no comment should be a bannable offense.

StraBro90 Pro Tip: the two taps of the coils are sounding quite different from each other and are both usable. I have mine wired up: - the tap I like better or full coil - out of phase - in-series of bridge and split neck

You put the magnet into a pickup where you know the magnet type and see whether the sound of that pickup changes.

Carry-on backpacks get treated a million times better than UPS packages.

A higher wind also has more capacitance, which lowers the frequency of the resonance peak even further.

Just microwave it a bit! (/s - not actually please)

Then how is the Nazgul different from the DC? The descriptions so far and the tech specs appear to be pretty similar.

There's no actual reason to bash the OP or his/her tech for breaking the pickups, neither in transit nor in installation. Nobody can know. Let's leave the attempted repair aside. SD is cool for doing a RMA to a country that isn't the original sales country at all. The shipping price mistake...
