Yep, the black thingy is the Q Filter. The way it's wired there reshapes the EQ. As said above, it's a real tone control, not just rolling off highs.

You can also wire it without the cap and resistor to lower the inductance of the pickups. This mellows the output, which is really cool.

Awesome pics, Arlo. Thanks! It's nice to see where my favorite pickups come from.

I still remember my amazement a few years ago the first time I called with a question and Becky put Bill on the phone. He educated me for 30 minutes! What a guy.
