I had a harmony jupiter a long time ago that had gold foils in it. From what I remember, they don't sound anything alike, but that could have less to do with pickups and more to do with other differences between the guitars. I really don't know. Maybe people who know more would argue that both pickups share things like "clarity" or something. The Harmony, again based on my hazy memory, was a boring classic rock machine. The Ronin is it's own thing. My guess is that a lot of people who would buy it for blues, rock, or punk would be disappointed (there are much cheaper guitars that would do a lot better in those areas). Not sure about metal...maybe it would do ok. I think some ILFers would like the guitar because it really does come alive with fuzz. I'd go so far as to say I like it more with fuzz than even my jags. Hard to say exactly why, maybe "clarity" or some other adjectives people like to use. Maybe it's "toothsome."

This course, a perpetual alternation of determining what is true, and then setting aside this determining, constitutes, strictly speaking, the steady everyday life and activity of perpetual consciousness, a consciousness which fancies itself to be moving in the realm of truth.
