I emailed Kris a few years ago looking for a humbucker sized single coil for the neck position of my thinline tele. I had tried a PAF (too muddy), a TV Jones T-Armond (way too hot), and finally a boutique filtertron and they were just not giving me "the sound". I chatted with him and he suggested a strat type pickup with rod magnets over the P90 design. I wasn't able to go for it right away but some time later I messaged him back and he made it happen. He was very patient with me and my tire kicking, went above and beyond with a small hiccup in the process and got it to me quickly.
As soon as I played it, I knew I had something special. Clarity, balance, chime, but something I did not expect - incredible dynamic response. If I play softly over the strings, it has this glassy quality with these crazy harmonics blooming everywhere, but then I dig in and it opens up with the notes just punching out. You can hear every string shine through in chords, especially with triads. Go to the middle position and it's chime galore...I use this position a lot with amps and drives running hot and the output drop is just enough to totally clean up the tone but still sound incredibly musical. The pickup itself is a beautiful thing in raw nickel. Don't hesitate to deal with Kris if you need something like this, he's the real deal.
