Lace should put covers on the side of the pickups so you don't have that opening into the pickup cavity. That hole gives the pickup a feeling of not being very solid. Of course, the pickup is very sturdy but that's the perception that I get with the installed unit. Congrats on the revolutionary design. It might be just a little too far ahead of it's time.
The neck pickup is a Deathbucker. However for the reason you mention, my personal taste leans toward a "normal" A-tone in the neck and the DB in the bridge. The combination plays well together. You are on the right track.
Is the neck pickup a normal Alumitone or Deathbucker? As far as I know, you guys don't make a neck version of the DB and I would think by putting the same pickup in the neck, the output would be much louder than the bridge. Because of this, I'm thinking of buying a DB and normal Alumitone for the neck because I only have one master volume on my guitar. What say you Lace?
Sounds great - I really like the middle position sound. Doesn't sound too "heavy" too me, I mean that in a positive way - I think that it would be good for more than just one style of rock.
