Does anyone know anything about these pups? I was at q-tuner.com and all the tech-speak just confusd me to no end my face was like this . So, what exactly is neodynium and if i put these in my guitar will it sound super cool? I need answers pleese

check with peterku. he owns one.

A friend of mine tried a pair once. His testguitar was a Dean Baby ML he could get very cheap (he's not the heavy metal kind of guy, he was just searching for an affordable HH-guitar to try the pickups and the Baby ML was the first one that came by).

The Q-tuners have only briefly been produced in 1993 by Philips, it was a design by an engineer named Erno Zwaan that featured three rows of 11 polepieces instead of the more common 6, 12, rails or none at all. Turning the middle row up produces a humfree singlecoillike tone, while turning the outer rows up produces a slightly hotter humbuckertone, comparable to none. And that's just the difference in tone when changing the height of the polepieces. Think of the wiring possibilities with three coils! The frequency response and stringbalance is very even, the overall response is very very dynamic. They also sound very clear and clean though, and lack dirt and grit. So if you're looking for a pickup that also works well overdriven and distorted and that will drive your amp nicely, the Q-tuners might well be a bit disappointing. But if you can get a pair at a nice price, they're well worth a try.

As I know, the Q-tuners mentioned here have two vertically erected coils, and three rows of polepieces. I have a Hi-Z model and it came with two conductors, one hot and one ground.

It's definitely not for the metalheads out there, but anyone who's looking for a heavenly clear sound and a truer connection between musician and his guitar, won't be disappointed.
