What I've read is that the pickup consists of two short single coils wired in parallel with reverse polarity. One coil is for the treble strings and the other is for the bass. This results in a pickup with low noise and low output.

I almost never see V2's, and I mean NEVER.

And yeah the sound is unusually bluesy for what visually screams metal rock.

Neat video.
