I recently took delivery of a Fodera Yin Yang with Seymour Duncan Dual Coils in it:

The tone is just insanely great.

Here's the question, I have an older Fodera that has EMG J/J's in it (it has the same electronics -- Pope 3-band) and after hearing the new Ying Yang with Seymour Duncans in humbucking mode, the EMG's sound almost sterile and brittle (especially in the mids) and their low-end output is nowhere near as percussive and focused as the Duncans.

Is anyone aware of whether or not Seymour Duncan offers a humbucking J/J set that would sound like the dual coils in humbucking mode?
