Just some info, figured I'd post this separate. I was always under the impression that the pole pieces (ie the bits that you can see sticking up out of the pickup) being magnetic = a better pickup than pole pieces being just metal, and big chunky magnet sitting underneath the pickup. I was also under the impression that this was a technique used on cheaper made guitars to save some bucks - the pickups that used this technique certainly didn't sound all that good on the guitars I had at the time.
So imagine my surprise that MFD pickups use the magnet on the bottom approach. I found this clip a while ago and is a nice example of the difference between a G&L Legacy and S-500, or if you like it's a good example of MFD pickups since the rest of the guitar is essentially the same (other than some differences in S-500's wiring to allow for the bass wind-off and the additional pickup selection switch)
And just cos Andy at PGS annoys me so much with his playing ability... as I've said to Mojo several times (there's some lovely Grosh Electrajet reviews!) here's this one
