Wow it's been quite a long time since I last heard this clip. I've got a 2004 Fender MIA strat that still has the stock pickups in, this is a great tone and I'd be really happy to get this tone out of that strat. I'm leaning towards getting some trilogies in there - hmmm....

I have to say that I am a fool for single coil pickups.

I love P90s in Gibsons, to me they become more expressive, so I have always wondered what a 'regular' single coil would be like in a LP or SG.

I dunno about anybody else, but split coils just sound wrong, I can't put my finger on what is making it unpleasent (to me).

I'm sure that Tim (or somebody) will explain what is different, not electrically and magnetically (I understand those differences) but the sound itself.

Man! You rock!

Do you have any CDs out or can I see you playing live anywhere?

You got a very cool style going on there, reminds me of Steve Morse more than anything, just dirtyer and wilder than him, means: better

I should check in here more often!

These pickups are the greatest thing that happened to me, guitar wise, since deciding I wanted a Strat rather than an LP. I've been getting more questions recently so I'm going to post up a vid soon showing off more tones from the pickups.

To this day I don't know what Tim was talking about when he explained these pickups to me, all I know is I've never heard or played anything like them.

As for CD's...Not from me. I'm just a hack that enjoys playing :)

And one more thing... while i remember it:

What string gauge\brand do you use? :)

Whatever I can blag from the guys at Elixir usually.

Can't beat answering a post a year late!
