Well, for a start, I'm not a hobbyist. I make pickups for people who appreciate what Fender and Gibson did in the good old days. I'm a boutique custom builder.
I appreciate the views of those who say a CD recording is better than vinyl as an example of improved technology but I don't accept that view in it's entirity. In the same way, I appreciate the pickup desires of modern players. I cater for modern players too but most players haven't any idea of how a pickup works. That's why they go to people who do.
I'm curious to know what sort of testing equiptment you think is necessary other than a DCR, an inductance meter and a Gaussmeter. Do you atually make pickups? What is your experience? What have you developed that's better than my vintage rubbish and where can I hear them in action?
More acute tools for pickup measurement have become available
to the hobbyist in the last half a century, but if all you want to do
is make replicas of 50 year old designs...
