fender3x: yeh...if I wasn't so anal about the visual accuracy I too would have gone with a similar single coil version.
Edit: After soldering the coil to the leads there was a slight mishap, and I had to remove the epoxy I used to anchor the leads on one lead and re-solder since the multimeter was showing an open circuit. After managing to connect the coil , it's not quite as tidy, but there wasn't enough slack in the coil (I had used some CA glue to stop the end of the coil from moving, or I would have removed half a wind)
The pup weighs in at 6.7k.... I was hoping for better than 7k, but it's still fractionally hotter than the '51 Fender pups which were about 5.8k. There will be two of these and I haven't thought far enough ahead to work out if the two together sharing the same tone and volume will result on more volume. Simon would know.
