Just curious what people think about this mix.

Q Tuner neck
Dean Mountain of Tone bridge

I heard the Q tuner before so I'm well aware of what it sounds like and everything. Not so much on the MoT, I wanted almost a JB type tone. From the Q tuner website, the Q tuner if a really strong pickup. Is it going to be TOO strong?

Pretty much any insight is appriciated. Thanks
Joe
Little friendly informational bump.

Information

The passive GL-6 (Guitar Large) Q-tuner for 6 string guitar, combines the power of high-performance neodymium magnets with greater efficiency "free standing" air coils.
The most noticable sonic feature of the GL-6 is the extremely linear frequency response. Optimized winding geometry to give ideal value/dcr ratios; hence, maximum humbucking action.
Now, coil modifications are also possible! In order to meet the growing interest in a neodymium bridge Q-tuner for metal/rock guitar, all GL's can be 'beefed-up' to Super High Z ratios. Super High Z Q-tuners can be typified as having an amazingly aggressive but yet well defined overdrive sound.
Available in Super High Z (bridge), High Z (bridge, neck) and Medium Z (neck) versions and they come protected with black, white or transparent covers.

I was thinking about either the 14k or 10k ohm Q tuner. Most likely the 10k ohm, just hoping for some opinions.
