SLUG is super thick and the sustain is kind of freaky. Derek Duncan designed the pickup and he nailed it. I think there were only one or two prototypes necessary. Anyone into Sabbath will loose their minds when they play it.
With that 48k output, I'm afraid this pickup might give me cancer.
It's only about twice as hot as the Dimarzio Steve Morse Neck model (which is 22k).
Then again, the Steve Morse bridge model measures at about 8k, and it's great for death metal.
dc resistance is a measure of output since... when? I played it and it's hot but not 3 times hotter than my jb/fullshred hybrid which tips in at 15.5k with an alnico 5 magnet.
