Nope , cannot forget Doug, He IS the man. The better I get, the better my Stage One sounds. I love the sound of his pickup, and I was not a humbucker fan. I use an EHX Knockout Attack pedal which actually can make your humbucker sound and react like a single coil. It workls extremely well for this application, not so much trying to get your single coil like a humbucker, but who want to do that? 
But I use that pedal with Doug's guitar and it sound fantastic, very Sho-Bud through a Fender amp. I like being able to go back and forth between single coil and humbucker tone. When I first opened up the case, and put it together, the sucker was in tune. And I spend very little time tuning each week. I play roughly 2 hrs a day and I am not easy on the levers or pedals, I'm not attacking the guitar, but it is withstanding the rigors of a newby's clumsy attempts at Mooney pedal work, so that right there will tell you something. I will never sell this guitar.
