Well the one I'm talking about has a classic pole pieces configurations, no double row allen key type ones.
It could be a Tonezone, from visuals and the DC resistance, but with black baseplate an B 5 stamped in ... ?
Other than that I am out of ideas :-)

You are right.

Does anyone have any infos? It basically looks like a black EVH custom with black back, and  "B 5" stamped on it. It measures 17,2k and is F-spaced.

May it be "Breed"?

The Norton works great in a guitar that has a lot of natural lows, like a Les Paul or PRS Singlecut. It pairs well with the Liquifire in the neck.

I have a set neck guitar with 25" scale and warm tone. I will swap its custom pearly gates into Norton soon ;)

A tele neck pickup that can step up to the bridge pickup in output and tonal quality. I find most tele neck pickups dull, weak or both. In fact I never quite understood why Fender did not switch to a strat pickup for the neck position after putting the stratocaster in production but different strokes for different folks I guess.

That's why i always liked Twisted Tele neck pickup.

Super PAF is a nice idea if you want the Super D with a PAF look.
Cheers Stephan

Presented EQ graph is quite different than the SD. So what reminds me is Duncan Custom. It may be a louder Custom.

I have seen this on reverb but it makes me curious. Mine has nickel silver baseplate. Like this;

Excellent review. I think you captured a fair description of this pickup. I have it in two strat style guitars right now, and have had it in other guitars, including a Les Paul.  One thing about this pickup I found is that it doesn't overide the characteristics of the guitar it's in. Each guitar still sounds like the guitar it's in. This is good if your guitar sounds good naturally, but it might not be the right pickup for fixing a paticular characteristic of a guitar you don't like.

Enough output in my opinion, too.

Thank you so very much for your reply.

You have mentioned i never could experienced. I put it on my custom JS style guitar and i really did fall in love with it. Part of me wants to try it on some other guitars and the rest part tells me to f*ck off, awesome where it belongs :)
But still i wonder how will it sound on my fat strat. I need another PAF 36th :)

So so true, and thank you for your fine suggestions.

I will try to feel the guitar in my hands for quite some adequate period and then re-assess !

For my custom guitars, at first i always go with pickups very generic like Jazz/JB or PAF Pro/S.Distortion etc. They are relatively easier to find as used and to be sold. So i put them on the fresh guitar that i'm not very sure about its final tone. When it is complated, i can decide better with the pickups i do know like "there is mud on the neck, i need to go from paf pro to humbucker from hell".
