Hey guys,
There are so many great single coil pickup choices nowadays. However, it's great to hear them in action to be able to make your choice. So this thread will be for posting clips of different single coil pickups in action. A nice side benefit will be to be introduced to some great players with great tone.
Please don't throw up clips that will convince people not to buy otherwise good pickups, like someone playing through a cheap amp or recorded into a computer desktop microphone.
I'll start:
Sheptone's - Very nice playing and tone. A classic tone but with some extra body and umph! :

This guy can play! My favorite new guitar player. I normally wouldn't upload so many clips but this guy's playing and variety of tones is pretty incredible.
Suhr - Fletcher/Landau - Mike Landau playing his custom designed pickups. The pickup setting is the bridge SSV humbucker split combined with the new FL single-coil pickup.

video - http://www.suhrguitars.com/video.aspx Check out videos of Mike Landau and Scott Henderson, both are monster players with great tone.
http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=4PGPhaWCgYY - Kirk Fletcher - man this guy does the Albert King thing like no one else! He's got his own style too, but can bend those strings - ouch! Playing Fletcher-Landau's of course.

Suhr - Custom Classic - Youtube video, really nice classic strat tones. http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=qGvdh9P419A

I posted links to specific audio clips because there were so many on that page and most are not single coil pickups.
Let's hear some different pickup tones. Of course, we all have to acknowledge that much of the tone is also in the amp, guitar, hands, etc, so let's avoid the "it's all in the hands" or whatnot remonstrations and arguments, and leave those for other threads.
Personally, I'm overseas, so these clips and your opinions are all I have to go by when choosing my replacement pickups so let's make this a useful thread. Thanks.
