Doc	Re: Magnet Stagger I didn't mean that nobody uses a wound third (I do for guitars set up for slide), but in general, most electric players don't. So you're saying that the old pickups, with the elevated third magnet, are too quiet on the wound .013? I would think Texas Specials would work well there. Although not vintage type, the dual rail type DiM. Cruiser & Fast Track type seem to have a more even magnetic field and equal string volume.
