Featureneck Pickup. String Span Is 48 Mm, With The Pole Pieces 9.6 Mm Apart. Resistance Is 5.52-5.54 K-Ohm. Inductance Is 3.1 - 3.17H Compared To Our Standard Wound Coils Which Produce 1.98 Henry Yet Have The Same Resistance. South Pole Is Facing Up.Middle Pickup. String Span Is 50Mm With The Pole Pieces 10Mm Apart. Resistance Is 5.1-5.52 K-Ohm. Inductance Is 3 - 3.2 Henry. Reverse Wound And Opposed Magnetic Polarity, North Pole Faces Up. Bridge Pickup. String Span Is 52Mm With The Pole Pieces 10.4Mm Apart. Resistance Is 5.97-6.1 K-Ohm. Inductance Is 3.72 - 3.77H As Opposed To Our Standard Wind Of 2.61 Henry. South Pole Faces Up.To Give You Some Idea And Comparison Of Their Power A Us-Strat ( 72 ) Has An Inductance Of 2.2 Henry On The Bridge And A Noiseless Strat Of Around 2.5 Henry So Expect These Pickups To Have A Fuller Sound With Increased Mid And Lows Whilst Retaining The Clarity And Bright Tone Of The Trebles As You Would Expect From Single Coils.Metallor Pickups Use Ceramic Magnets As These Are Even Brighter Than Alnico V Or Iii, And In Higher Output Pickups Help To Counterbalance The Treble Lost By The Higher Resistance (Remember Higher Resistance Means More Midrange, But Less Highs).
