I'm not TO but I can answer that question. The Rebel Yell is 14.5K and the new Holy Diver is 16.2K.

So the Rebel Yell is ceramic? (The old HD was ceramic, no?)

no - the original Holy Diver was ceramic.  The next incarnation is the Rebel Yell now (Alnico V - 14.5K), and the newest version is 16.2K Alnico V.  I will pick mine up at LGS, so I won't hear it until I get back to the US.

LOL!

Imagine the outrage here if Tim never settles on a finished design for the Painkiller and NEVER releases it. Oh the humanity.  :roll:

I gotta say that whenever some poor soul is trying to make up their mind as to which pickup to buy somebody on the board always jumps in and muddles them up with a suggestion for a model that is still in development... eg Painkiller

I think I'd be confused too.

This type of advice has resulted in a condition I diagnose as "Bareknuckle Paralysis"

This painful condition is often first spotted when the patient presents symptoms of "poor tone" and the psychological malaise such as "obsessive wind anxiety".

All such symptoms can be put right by simply jumping in feet first and ordering from the catalogue.

Trust me the BKP you receive will not disappoint and most likely be the first of many, not the one and only...

Sarcasm maybe the lowest form of wit and my post was loaded with it..

I know you were parodying others and I was in total agreement.

No offence intended T.O.  PDT_002
