Re: Seymour Duncan Hyperion

Custom wind by MJ for Ibanez. They share some DNA with the Pegasus/Sentient set. The pickups are exclusive to the Ibanez AZ series guitars, and they are USA made - not Duncan Designed. That's all I can say for now. Ibanez will probably release more specs at NAMM.

How about the single coil pickups, do they share any DNA with other SD pickups? Thanks

FYI, Riley doesn't work for SD anymore. Maybe someone else knows this.

OK Thanks, I have the HSS set in my Ibanez AZ Prestige, and there are times I'd like a warmer neck pickup. Its always nice to get a perspective on what these are close to.
Some of Alnico 2 pickups sounds really nice...

Any of the A2 pickups are warmer sounding. More mids, squishier bass. How much power do you want?

Seymour Duncan has a pretty good blog entry that explains these. And someone, (from Duncan?), says they're based on the Pegasus/Sentient. Or, I should say, closest to the Peg/Sent EQ.

Not really sure as of yet, I was hoping to get a close equivalent to another pickup and then dive deeper into specs.
I had an old telecaster that had the Fender twisted Tele pickups in it and I thought the neck was a great pickup.
They actually have A5 magnets and Formvar coated pickup wire.
The search continues... Also, I lowered the neck hyperian pickup in the guitar and I do like it better.
