SK	Re: Pickup "copies" rant Another problem here is that even "specs" don't tell you the true character, and testing procedures are not standardized. "I" can't use the "tone charts" on one website to compare against the charts on another site (are there even 2 sites w/ charts up?) since I have no idea how they came up with thier charts. Even for me, The "specs" don't mean alot. If you compare specs on a crapola HB from some low line import to a PAF, they may very well be extreamly close. And to a certain extent I can't tell you "what" makes my pickups better... That's the "art"...
