Or maybe not. I am starting to see a few new winders and an old one or 2 pop up with Scooped mids PU's liken to the John Mayer Pu's. I'm not the brightest guy in the world and maybe i'm just dense but here goes: How the hell are you gonna scoop mids out of something that is wound as low as strat PU's are that dont have a lot of mids to begin with? Please help a misguided old fool here

Walk over to your amp. Locate the knob marked "middle". Turn that knob to zero.Comment

Crap, my princeton doesn't have a mid pot! I'll never get the John Mayer tone now!!!Comment

Basically they are using heavy formvar, a low capacitance magnet wire, it tends to have a mid scoop kind of tone at the lower winds, the hotter you wind it the mids start to show up real well. But, yeah, its marketing hype, wow "magic" pickups, gotta haven 'em....http://www.SDpickups.com

"Det var helt Texas" is written Nowegian meaning "that's totally Texas." When spoken, it means "that's crazy."Comment

4 knobs, a 5-way and 5 minis? Oh yeah, that's a keeper! Definately a tone monster just by that description.Comment

My guitar have neck/bridge switch, two "preset" switches (like jazzmaster, hidden right above the pickups) to each pickup (Parallell/singlecoil/humbucker), volume and tonecontrol, and a hidden switch that turns the tonecontrol to a volumecontrol for the neck pickup. (I do some Tom Morello stuff). Everyone that pick up my guitar thinks there´s just volume, tone and one switch, simple. But then they look closer.... Seems to impress them and work as a hype
