    There's no use for a "matched set", although the term is better than "calibrated set".

    I'll by whatever comes out of the Custom Shop and is sold at a nice or semi-nice price to forumites. So yes, sure, whatever.

    I just voted in the poll before checking on the current results - that's pretty one-sided lol!

    I was thinking of putting the neck version in the bridge position of my Tele, maybe a second in the neck. Having a bridge version would be a nice option.

    However, if the neck pickup was hot enough, and tapped, we could use the same pickup as a bridge and neck.

    And to those that don't want a tapped version because of the extra 1 or 2 wires: just don't use them. I'm sure they'd be different colours from the normal 4 used, and you'd just have to leave them sheathed, or taped off if you prefer (or tell that to your tech ... wussies )

    I don't want to sound rude, but just because you can't afford both, doesn't mean everyone is in that boat. It's been brought up a few times by other people already. If it's an option, I don't see any reason not to explore it.
    I didn't mean that at all! I was merely indicating that I'm likely going to use this pickup as a bridge pickup... and wouldn't be able to buy 2 anyway... I guess I left out the part where I was going to say that I wasn't voting on this one so as to not conflict with those that want a pair.

    I'm all for the pair!!! Really!!!

    I only bought one StraBro90 also. I actually wish I had bought a set. I might feel that way later, but finances often dictate behaviour...

    I think the neck pickup idea only came into play because we wanted a regular humbucker and couldn't off-hand come up with anything that hasn't been done before. In the neck space there is more opportunity.

    I'm totally for a matched set, as it should take out a ton of extra work trying to match the pickup. Of course, they have to sound good, but I think we all have faith that Seymour and MJ wouldn't build a bad sounding pickup (even if they had to change a spec or two from the voting polls).

    Also, because the coil configuration isn't standard, it will actually look good as a set.

    IIRC Evan had a thread last year and someone posted a photo of it. Not sure if it was just custome shop or a forum special that never happened. It was a while ago but I will try to find it.

    Thank you!

    What happened to this prototype?

    The P-90 format puts a serious limit on sales, I reckon.

    We didn't get any specs, so we can't even imagine a use for it.

    Or, being a Custom Shop offering, you can have it wound like any other p'up on the HB line, being the the appealing factor the form, which should be a direct replacement for a mini-hum or firebird.

    I, for one, never liked the mini-hums... maybe this could be THE mind-changer p'up?

    Evan, I think we deserve to have at least SOME info about'em.

    Well...?

    I guess I'm asking about a matched set lol. I didn't think it would be that much of a runaway poll!
