What do you think about this?
It's an experiment to see what the market reaction is.

I have to agree with you on that one...Maybe if I was in a hair metal band and it was 1983...but I'd rather see Duncan look into a 10-11K PAF (I know, I know, we've already beat this one to death...too much expense in marketing, research, packaging, etc etc.) Can't blame me for tryin'!

Re: Glow In The Dark Humbuckers?
Its definately an original idea. Would it work and sell? I'm not sure there. I think it would be cool to have glow in the dark pickups in a guitar and play with it slightly dark or with a bunch of black lights on. How often are you really going to do that though? Maybe it should be a custom shop option instead of a mass marketed thing.

These would be great for 80s shred guitars / superstrats, and I can see these helping Duncan take a bit of market share from Dimarzio in that respect. Therefore I think 'glow in the dark' coils are best suited to pickups typically chosen by 80s metal / shred guitarists (http://www.shredaholic.com/topshredpickups.html includes those), so if you're planning on mass producing them I think that would be the safest bet. Having said that, these may be best suited to the custom shop - I'm not knowledgable enough to guess how popular they would be.
Personally I'd want a pair of Duncans with these on, and would put them in the next guitar I'm building if possible (strat body / kramer neck / floyd rose).
Whatever you do though, make sure you get some sort of trademark on them first before Dimarzio steal your idea and trademark it themselves. Although I don't approve of not only trademarking colours but dragging companies through court to bankrupt them, I definately think these are not only legal but ethical grounds for a trademark for Duncan.
