totally agree with you on this. however, since frivers already provided a more or less detailed description of how the Max Rufo pickup sounded like, i didn't see the need to question the pickups he owned previously.
maxi, galing ako kanina kay max to see a plank of wood with fiddleback figure, he showed me his new pup, yet to be applied for patent. single coil daw, pero parang humbucker. nagdemo sya, kamuntik maahit ang buhok sa talim. binuksan ko flourescent bulb nya, tahimik! may setting din sya nag magtutunog humbucker, di ko rin maintindihan kung pano. he was trying to explain to me how the stuff works, i just pretended i understand everything... i was busy playing the guitar!
the first time we a/b'd his original noiseless sc pup equiped tele to my hiway1 tele, medyo umuwi ako malungkot parang mas tele pa yung tunog nung sa kanya!
