Harmonic design Pick-ups


Hi All
I recently picked up a '99 PRS McCarty from evilbay. :-)
In the listing, the seller mentioned it was a friends g'tar that needed the $$ etc and that he'd paid good money for upgrading to "Harmonic pick ups".
I thought he was refering to some obscure PRS items, but I couldn't find reference to anything.
When I got it over here, I did the normal clean, new strings etc and pulled the pickups to have a look.

IIRC, they are marked "Harmonic Design Vintage+ classic"
How cool do these things sound :-).
I can't seem to find much about them anywhere, so I was wondering if anyone here had tried the same?

Interesting. I would love to know more about them, because I think some of the older PRS pickups sound wonderful.

I don't think Harmonic Design have any ties with PRS.(OEM etc) I Think these have just been bought as a perceived upgrade.
I just love the tone and smooth warm drive they have, but have never heard of them before.
They have a small website, but seem to concentrate on the P90's.(Like sixtywattman's dad)
That's why I was asking if anyone had tried these H/B's or had any info' on them.
