This has been one of those experiments I've been wanting to try for ages.
There's an old PAF story that I've never been able to prove, but it was plausible enough that I wanted to see what would actually happen if I built my own version.
Well... I built it.
And I'm honestly pretty blown away by it.
I've just released the video showing the whole experiment, including the build, testing and sound demos.
Watch it here:

And yes... I've decided to make a small number of these because I like this pickup WAY too much not to. 😅 Links in the video description

One thing I wanted to make sure I included in this video was a way for you to actually check this stuff on your own guitars.
So I made the String Compliance Calculator available on my site.
You can plug in different guitars and setups and see how things like headstock design, bridge type, top-wrapping and other changes affect compliance.
It's one of those things that started as a simple idea and, as usual, I took it way too far. 😂
You can play with it here:
