pretty well done. It might have been good to have a volume level comparison as well for the quiet pickups.
What fascinated was the relatively small differences...each is unique but only a few leap out. I really liked the Gold Foils..(I have never played these for me these days) .

It shows off how P90's are fat and punchy.

nice vid! i love the P90s (no surprises there, most my guitars have been P90s) also like the Goldfoils and Telecaster sounds

Great demo! I really dig those power trons. A surprisingly small difference between all the pickups/guitars really.

I found this interesting in that two of the sounds I kind of hate on that clip are the guitars I play and love - Rickenbacker and a lipstick Dano/Silvertone. I think it goes to show that a lot of the tone comes from the way you hit the strings and amp settings
