The Emperor's new pickup, perhaps?
A sense of humour. Who would have known? (Naturally, this observation is entirely subjective. Nothing with which anyone could take issue.)

If you want, you can take my vote away from the Zebro, because I'm not participating in this anymore. I bought the Bluesbucker instead.

Re: Forum design vote #6 (Choose wisely)
I have not been following this forum pickup poll any more than I followed the one that brought us the Fuglybucker.
Somebody, please, remind me when this process began? December, 2014, perchance?
The skeptic in me suspects that he knows why this diversion has ground to a halt.

Clue lies in the word "diversion". Some people are more easily swayed than others.

The April design is also still in play as far as I have been told.

I remember the first post Scott made about doing this. It was in a thread that was quite heated. I don't recall the subject of the thread, but I remember the hostility level was quite high. So yes, this was an attempt to "divert", is that really a bad thing?

Re: Forum design vote #6 (Choose wisely)
IF it's a hybrid, does that mean that choices from existing models would be used or would we go from scratch for that..?
I know I've turned up late in the day for this but, yeah.

Re: Forum design vote #6 (Choose wisely)
The hybrid wording was just used as a simpler way to say "humbucker with mismatched coils, but with whatever specs the custom shop deems appropriate" It was assumed it wouldn't be production coils, but if thats what the custom shop thinks would work best thats what we might end up with. The idea for the set was "voicing starts with the 59/Custom but will have more upper mid focus, more controlled bass, cleaner, clearer. It will still have the hybrid complexity."

Re: Forum design vote #6 (Choose wisely)
After all I've read this paragraph "seems" to put it all together. What output would be loud enough to make everyone, for the most part, happy, but still have the ability to clean up well. Above 10K and it is hard to get back to any thing clean (talking bridge pup), but 7-8K clean up great but don't have the oomph to to really snarl. I know many things go into the stew to make the meal a great one, but the output, in general, really does seem like a factor that is a constant, when it comes to cleaning up, no matter what else is used. What say you, Mr. Swyse? I would very much be interested in your answer/opinion.
Thank you,
SJ

Re: Forum design vote #6 (Choose wisely)
I really like the space the original 59/custom hybrid sits in at around 11.5k. Its hard to please everyone, but I think that is a good place to start. I believe it may likely need a bit less output to achieve the goals of "cleaner and clearer", but that is for the custom shop to work out.
For background reference, I'm on the end of the spectrum that likes a hot bridge pickup, I currently have a custom and a distortion in the bridges of my duncan loaded guitars. Even though I like them hot, I like the versatility the "medium output" 11.5k original 59/custom hybrid provides, while still having enough oomph to push an amp.

tl;dr
Only read the first and last pages. But I have to cast a vote on this zebro thingy. A split-coil design would be awesome. Specially if the treble side is closer to the neck, while the bass side is farther. That would make the treble strings sound rounder and thicker and the bass strings sound clearer and more defined.
