Re: Saturday Night Special
Hard to tell. People can already get a PAF class pickup from Mojotone and select magnet choices and even a few levels of resistance. Since many are made to order (with a frequently swift turnaround), it's not unheard of to be able to call them for a specific tweak. And they are priced much more affordable than most of the boutique options.
I wonder if this set is offered as a "boutique killer" alternative?
It surely is priced that way... any comment welcome.

Why on earth would Seymour offer this set at that price point with short legs and 4 conductor wire?
Kinda completely missing this pickups target audience (1970's arena rock = Les Paul Custom and Matshall stack). LP's owners want long mounting legs & single wire .....and lightly reliced nickel covers in the $250+ "boutique" price range. Guess it's going to be a call into a Shop Floor custom order.

Well, let's not put the cart before the horse.
It has to hit the market first.

Re: Saturday Night Special
Skynyrds tone was mostly the Peavey Maces not the pickups.
They used everything from Stratocasters to Lester's to Explorers.
The Mace was a huge part of the original Skynyrd sound.
It'll be interesting to hear them but I'm thinking these are just a new flavor of PAF type humbucker with the A4 mags that have become so popular. The hotter wind in the bridge with the flatter EQ of the A4 sounds awesome. I just got a set of Tone Emporium PAFs with this same recipe I just gotta figure out what I'm putting them in.

Re: Saturday Night Special
I'm thinking that at just under 10K, that SNS bridge may be not unlike the BroBucker, a pickup which I like very much indeed. Minus the degaussed A5, of course, but a UA5 might bring it pretty close. Bet they're great with A4s though. As others have said, it's about time. I have two sets (boutique vintage-spec winds) that came stock with A4s and they're both excellent.
