Pickup comparisons
All pickups recorded directly to DAW (Cubase 9.5) using Line6 UX2 with "REC: Dry input" option. No EQ, effects, or mixing used. Only bridge position of each model, and in full humbucking mode.
Same guitar with same setup, tuning, and pickup height (ca. 4-5mm from strings) used. No volume / tone potentiometer, or onboard electronics used.
I'll get more samples recorded as time goes on!
