Best Pickup for Lap Steel

Re: Best Pickup for Lap Steel

O.K., so if I use The JD, what about the hum canceling?
What if I paired it with an A5 RW/RP pup, either a Tele lead or maybe a strat of some kind, or even the 1950 lap steel?

Wouldn't that give me a pretty good palette of different tones?

Ah yes, for that Heavy Metal/Steel Guitar tone we all know and love.

I have considered using a Pearly Gates, or an Alnico II Pro or a '59. Something along those lines.
Is the JB the pickup some say sounds like a strat when split?

If you happen to see a post almost identical to this one, let me know. I know I posted it but it seems to have disappeared.

The JB sounded like a very convincing Strat single coil when split w/500k pots in my maple necked Strat.
