Your fabricated Deliberate Inductor term sounds very similar to the term
Chemical Fuse.

You might be surprised/shocked to discover that many folks understand
inductors.

Use all the space you need to show how many small components exhibit over 5H
of inductance, which aren't inductors.

Would those components be Accidental or Coincidental inductors?

The Sencore Ringing Test isn't a specific measurement, it's an indication.

The inductance of an electric guitar pickup is the pickup's most significant
characteristic.

I'm guessing that you're unfamiliar with the Sencore Z-Meters Ringer
Tests.
They're capable of indicating shorted single turns.
Fault-free inductors normally ring 10 rings or higher.

** Demonstrating that the Q is 10 or more.

As any DELIBERATE inductor will.


Placing a single turn of wire (with ends touching forming a conductive
turn) around an inductor will generally yield a Fail/1-thru-9 test
result.

** Errr - cos that reduces the Q.


These testers work reliably for any type of inductor/transformer commonly
used in electronic equipment circuits (no core material or ferrite-type
cores, not steel core types as mentioned previously).

** Yep - ferrite cored and air cored deliberate inductors have high Q
factors.


Guitar pickup assemblies aren't typical circuit inductors, however I
kinda expected them to Ring Test normally with the steel screws and cores
removed.

** Show how easy it is to be wrong when making silly guesses.
