Re: When is seymour duncan going to update the specs chart?
It's simple -- add everything to the chart that Seymour makes that isn't there now. But if you need some particulars:
Custom 5 (as others have said)
Twangbanger
Five-Two
Phat Cat
Antiquities
That said, there are other pages at the site that give you the lowdown on the specs for all these pickups, but it would be nice to see them all on the Tone Chart page together.
The EQ bars are pretty cool as is, but it would be great if the mids could be broken up into upper and lower...

Re: When is seymour duncan going to update the specs chart?
There is too much gain in those clips. All I hear is gain and not the pickup. I don't have a problem with using the same amp to keep consistant. Just use more than one type of gain level for each clip; a low, medium and high gain clip for each of the pickups would do exactly what you claim you want it to do. It would also show how a pickup reacts to different gain levels.

Re: When is seymour duncan going to update the specs chart?
Okay, I got you now. If they used 3 different gain levels to display the distorted side of each pickup then that could be a good thing IMO.
I dont' know how much it would add but it sure wouldn't hurt.

Re: When is seymour duncan going to update the specs chart?
Thanks to everyone for your comments. We'll take those into consideration when we re-do the tone chart in the next month or so.
Keep in mind that the EQ specs are totally subjective. A few of us got together and "voted" on the curve. Same with the output bars. Those specs are not objective like d.c. resistance and resonant peak.
Also, using milivolts may look objective at first glance, but it's very problematic once you dig a little deeper.
The best way to know what a pickup is going to sound like before you hear it is to understand how d.c. resistance and resonant peak work together to determine the sound and output of the pickup, then look at the d.c. resistance and the resonant peak for each pickup, and then listen to it using the sound clips -- through good speakers, or else they're all sound the same.
Thanks again for the great comments.

I think the DC resistance, resonant peak specs and mentioning the type of magnet are great as is -- they really zero it in for me.

Evan, is there any way you fine folks at Seymour Duncan could add inductance to the chart?

Re: When is seymour duncan going to update the specs chart?
I'd like to see all the customs side-by-side, all the PAFish pickups side-by-side, and the jb and distortion by each other.
eq:
highs
upper mids
lower mids
bass
dc restance and the output being shown in bar and number form.

I'm glad this topic was brought up again. The tonechart is great and really helps, but it could be improved upon. I still like the seperate low/high mid idea and it would be great if the other pickups would be added.

One of the things that's going to help out a lot is the new product descriptions which will be incorporated into the next catalog and website. They'll be things like this:
SH-1 ’59 Model™
Application:
Hopefully, these new descriptions will be much more informative and will help you make the right pickup choice.

SH-1 ’59 Model™
Application:
Versatile P.A.F.-type humbucker. Great for country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock and heavy rock.
Description:Late-‘50s, vintage-correct, humbucker sound. Warm and crystalline clean tones. Full and bright distorted tones. Smooth sustain. Classic appointments include plain enamel wire, long legged bottom plate, vintage single conductor cable and no logo. Compared to the SH-55 Seth Lover, the ’59 has slightly more scooped mids and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
Complete Setup:Available for both neck and bridge positions. Often a ‘59 neck is used together with a hotter bridge pickup like the SH-4 JB or SH-13 Dimebucker for extra versatility.
Guitars:For balanced and warm instruments. Works especially well with mahogany bodies and rosewood fingerboards.
Available Mods:Four-conductor cable. Nickel or gold-plated cover. Trembucker. 7-string version. Seymour Duncan logo. Available in matched set of ’59 bridge and ’59 neck.
Players:Jimmy Page (neck & bridge), Ben Harper (bridge), Robben Ford (neck & bridge), Mike Einzinger / Incubus (neck), Dimebag Darrell / Damageplan (neck).
USA MSRP:$99
Hopefully, these new descriptions will be much more informative and will help you make the right pickup choice.

We looked into that idea and had a few web-savvy code writers give us bids for the project. Sorry. Waaaay too expensive.

Evan, you're really onto something there! It looks wonderful! It gives the musician every bit of info they need to get a feel for whether or not the pickup will work for them. If you can do that with all of your pickups, that would be a dream come true

Dreams do come true. Stay tuned for the next catalog and web update. It'll be complete before the end of the Summer.the_Chris said:If you can do that with all of your pickups, that would be a dream come true
