The Ironstone Sound clip and video collection
Guitar pickup tone is often a very personal preference. If you are primarily a 'single coil' player who likes 'Clean' tones, you may not be particularly concerned about a pickups performance when driven hard. Similarly a more metal orientated player is likely to be less demanding of glassy clarity.
Of course many, many players want some of both!
And Humbucker tones, whilst very different to single coil pickups, also have their own tonal span from dark and moody to ceramic magnet screamers!
