No sense in ragging on the guy. How often do we get to see cool Custom Shop pickups touted here? Not as much as we used to. Plus, JMI is a solid dealer!
If MJ whips up something cool, I think we SHOULD be made aware of it! We're her biggest fans!
P.S. - Who wants to grab the reigns for designing Forum Pickup 2018? :lmao:
Artie had a good start!

As for JMI, I can attest to him being a good dealer, I bought an IM1/78 set from him a while before I joined the forum.
As for Forum Pickup 2K18, I've always thought that selling a single coil sized humbucker on the same baseplate as a single coil would be a good idea. That way you could toggle between true HB and true single coil. Or maybe a double Quarter Pound as a humbucker?
Edit: a tappable Quarter Pounder humbucker would be nice. Give it 5 conductors and everything.

I love the 59 Custom Hybrid pickup. However there is no real match for a neck pickup in the Duncan line with those same unbalanced coils ability to tap that well + all those over the top harmonics. Know that idea has been thrown around before but IMO has merit and fills a hole in the Duncan line.
Also would like to see a meaner bigger rounder full set of Hybrids. Like maybe a Custom /JB hybrid bridge concept as a starting point with a rough cast A5 and a matching neck pickup in tone and output.
