Re: So Tell Me About The Custom Shop El-Diablo...
I've had them in a couple guitars, only mahogany with rosewood boards though. It's pretty warm and evenly EQ'd, I'm sure it would sound great.
The JB really isn't close, it's warmer, thicker, hotter, and more compressed than a JB. It does have a little of the JB's high mid push, so it cuts. My buddy that has my old Heartfield says it's "super expressive".

They only come with A2's, not a typical A2 sound, but the construction is entirely different than a typical pickup. The blades are the magnets.

The SHTI-1 was made in the 90's as Iommi's sig pickup before he went to Gibson. Same pickup.

(BTW, he was a complete gentleman about it). One of the things that makes this pickup unique is that the blades are the actual magnets. So in this sense, it's quite a bit different from the Dimebucker and the rails pickups. Also, the bobbin that's used on this pickup is the same as the STK-S2 Hot Stack for Strat. That means it's quite a bit wider than a traditional humbucker, and it won't fit easily into a traditional mounting ring. One of the first people to use this pickup after Mr. Iommi, was Mike Tempesta, who was Scott Ian's tech, and then went on to play guitar in Human Waste Project and Powerman 5000. (Nowadays, he's head of artist relations for Yamaha guitars). It was used by a few Duncan Designed customers, including Schecter in the 5-string Mike Tempesta model. Nowadays, you can find the pickup, re-dubed as the Scott Ian model, in Scott's new Washburn signature guitar.
