Re: Got a crazy pup idea.
Man, you like hot pickups! The good thing about a hot neck pup is that it sings nicely and allows fast runs to sound smoother, but it really turns into mud for everything else.
I guess you have a choice....you could either add a 9-14K neck pickup, or you could take out the 22K bridge, and come down to a more reasonable 12-16K. Personally, I'd do that. If your amp can have plenty of gain, your notes will sound bigger and more clear than by pushing it with super hot pickups. Just my 2 cents.
PS. and I agree about your theory of right handed picking technique. The adverse effects of picking up bad habits are not yet apparent to them. Not to mention looking amateur! LOL

Re: Got a crazy pup idea.
It probably isn't EXTREMELY high output if it's only 9 Henries, but it's defienetly up there. Inductance (measured in Henries) is kinda like how much voltage (which is tranlated to loudness) a magnetic field generates. I think I recall a JB would have a little more than 8, for comparison. You have to consider the rather small and weak magnetic field of the pickup, it definetely controls the output. I bet it uses like 10,000 winds of 44 AWG a coil, like a really overwound JB. You might be just fine with a FS neck. Remember Dimebag Darrell uses a similar pickup *cough cough* in the bridge of his guitar with a '59 in the neck. But yeah, I bet a JB would work well with it!
