Yeah originally I just wanted a bridge pickup. We started with the original Macha model, which was just a hair under 12k, A8, dual slug coils. Declan doesn't like it so much because to him it just sounds like your average high output pickup (too much compression, lack of treble clarity, congested, etc).
And then he played around with the winds and the types of wires, as well as polepiece lengths. Couple revisions later, he was really happy with the result. He said it was the first (bridge) pickup he's ever wound above 9k that he's actually really liked. After that he wound up a neck model to match.
So next up I get to try em out and see if I like 'em, and then back/forth with the revisions if necessary.
I'm really stoked. I guess the things I wanted outta this set were pretty well in line with what Declan wanted from a high output pickup he could put the Deacci name on. And with any luck, this could be the beginning of some increased business for him as well, since he's really happy with the result.
