Roadhouse neck humbucker quickie video

[KaiserSoze]

I looked for Roadhouse pickups on youtube and only found the "Super-effected-cant-even-hear-the-pickup" variety. 

This is a reference video recorded with iPhone speakers.  I just wanted to capture the general character of a clean sound.  Playing is random and merely trying to highlight the tone, so keep the criticisms to a minimum..

Hey Thanks for posting that! I enjoyed it. Impressive it was done with the iPhone. That sounded nice and woody to me. I would love to see more.

Thanks!

Added another on the same page with mild gain, just to show the clarity of the pickup.  Doesn't get muddy at all.

Nice!  It sounds very woody and 'strat-y', even though a humbucker.  Good 'air' in it, too.
Just ordered a set from Ken for my project.  Thanks!

Good.  I've been very pleased.  It was just what I was looking for in a neck pickup.  It has really good balance and clarity.  I could easily have a guitar with just this pickup and a volume control.  Very versatile.

I'd like to hear a bridge pickup example posted though....

That's my plan: Humbucker at the bridge and a jazzmaster at the neck.  Though I could almost have just used the two hummers, from the sound of yours.
