Joseph, I had pentad pickups on a 1980's Emmons short keyhead, and loved the tone I got. At the time I had that guitar, there were several posts from steel players that didn't like the Pentads for some reason or another. But I really like them on my shorty. As far as being a "new" pickup, it must be a newer model of Pentad, because Emmons have been making Pentads for quite a while.

Joseph,
They were designed by Ron, Sr, so they've been around for a while.
I have them on both necks of my 1979 D10 push/pull and they sound great on it.
Of course, your mileage may vary. It's all a matter of personal taste.
Cheers!
