Introducing The Philip Sayce “Mother” Stratocaster Pickup Set

And...even a recording is a poor representation of what it is like to actually play high end Custom Shop pickups.

True. It's very hard to get a good "feel" for a custom shop pickup when it's from the Seymour Duncan channel or other big channels rely heavily on their post-mastering skills of their ads/reviews. There are always a group of people who swear everything they buy doesn't sound anything like how the product was marketed, after all.

Everyone's amps and other gear also makes everything sound different. Those types of small variations that make things have vastly different outcomes.

I do all my stuff with clean, dirty and with wet effects, and make sure EQ is pretty much flat EQ like you're plugging into an interface without any hindrances.
 
I was just watching the video of Philip doing "Peace Machine', Live at The Baked Potato, and he sounds kinda like a mix of SRV and Robin Trower. Killer licks.
