Why aren't there more SC sized buckers? Im sure a Lil Seth Lover would sell well, and a Lil Custom or Custom 5 or Custom Custom would too. Anyway to tell SD we want them?

Re: Single Coil Sized Humbuckers....
You can't get the same Humbucker sound exactly as SCsized humbuckers, so i thnik that might be the reason.
YOu have a different magnet field, a different magnet (ceramic instead alnico!) so i understand that the rails and jr. design are simply the SCversions which come close to the "big" humbuckers.
YOu have a PAFish, a High-Output, a single-Coil sound pickup in the line.
I once had a lil'59 and it didn't exactly sound like a big '59 - i prefer a Humbucker in the regular size. If you look at the specs, they even are different.

Re: Single Coil Sized Humbuckers....
It's not so much about nailing the tone of the full sized one....Any pickup in the bridge of a Strat is going to sound Stratty, and I mean that in a good way. For example, I have a lil 59 in my strat's bridge, and although it isn't identical to a full sized one, I personally think it's just as good, just different (more Stratty). So I am willing to bet that a Lil Seth would sound amazing (possibly different than a full sized one), but nonetheless amazing...Who's with me?

I'd say so. I can imagine a lil' custom would sell pretty well.
They also don't have to use a ceramic magnet, the custom shop Lil' pearly gates uses an alnico 2.
