  • Do the lil'/jr. pups sound like the full sized HB

    Particularly the lil' 59. I know that If you put the same pickup in two different guitars that they'll probably vary in tone (how much depends on how different the guitars are, I just said that because I didn't want to be told again and again that a 59b in a LP won't sound exactly like a lil'59 in a strat). But how does the Lil' 59 compare to the '59b/59TB tonally.
    Fender MIA Strat (Blue/Red Velvets)
    JB Player Strat (Norton/PAF Pro w/ 5way superswitch)
    Fender HotRod Deville 212 Cleans baby clean.
    Vox Valvetronix 30w AWESOME!!!!!
    Dunlop Classic Crybaby
    Do you know any geniuses, I wish I knew myself better.

    Not as fat sounding. the Li'l 59 still has some single coil flavor to it.
    Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.

      You would also be working with two different types of wood. There should be some tonal differences there, correct?

        Even if you put a 59 an a Li'l 59 in the same strat in the same positions, they won't sound the same. The Li'l 59 sense less string area, thus having a more SC-like sound. The regular 'buckers usually sound fatter and have more low frequencies than the Li'l or Rails series because of this.
