  • Fleor Hot Dual Rails Bridge Review – High-Gain Rail Humbucker Test & Measurements

    Rose tremolo with Japanese stainless steel saddles, 25,5” scale, Stainless steel Jumbo frets, Alpha 500K The slight asymmetry I observed in the FLEOR Pickups Alnico 5 Bridge —where the slug/north coil had slightly After measuring the coil resistances, I wondered whether the absence of an Alnico magnet would bring the inductance down to around 5.5–6H. Better than JB but somewhere around Custom or Custom 5 , i believe.
