No need Leon. Last weekend myself, Toby Copley, Grant Touchell and Graham Greene spent an entire day with one guitar, four amps (Road King, Bad Cat, Ulbrich, 5150), one cabinet and one mic, recording all the different pickups and magnet combinations.
To make the sound samples more transperant, we used only one guitar, and swapped pickups in and out of it all day. The four amps were for different styles of flavour (clean, vintage/blues dirt, average dirt, modern metal), but all went through the same cabinet, same mic and position, etc. All amps ran a very neutral tone (12 o'clock tone settings pretty much).
To keep things even more accurate, rather than swap a nunchucker a5 with a nunchucker a2, we'd swap the actual magnet rather than the entire pickup, just incase one had .05% more winds (they are handwound after all), or, more importantly, the pickup height to string ratio was changed. We could just remove the pickup in its surrounding, and slide the magnets in and out.
It was a huge job, but we got 75 sound bytes which cover most of the humbuckers (bridge and neck positions), and a couple Multiscale guitars.
