Anderson Pickups

[italic zero]

Sorry for ANOTHER thread on the same topic, but I'm really considering getting a H2+. It got great reviews on HC, but I've never heard any testimonials on here. Please convince me that I will love this pickup.

Re: Anderson Pickups

ive played one before and it sounded good, kinda like a jb with the eq focus slid down but its been a long time. anderson makes some good stuff but its kinda pricey compared to other pups that sound just as good

Re: Anderson Pickups

They say retail price is $99, but you can find them for $70 new.

From Jeremy's description you might to well with a Custom. At least that would be my opnion from others' impression of the Custom. You might also look for a used PRS Dragon II.

Re: Anderson Pickups

The Dragon II description sounds more similar to the H2+ than any duncan (similar to a JB but smoother and more balanced). I still want to try one though. And, of course $70 vs. $125 is a pretty convincing argument, especially as there aren't any Dragon II's on ebay.

Re: Anderson Pickups

Did you ever get those Andersons? I saw Billy Howerdell live and know he uses the H3+/H1 combo and his tone smoked that night. I have always been interested in trying some. The H3+ seems like it might be too hot though.

I was interested in trying the H3 or H2+.

One thing I find interesting on the Anderson site is they say they are designed with larger pole pieces and a different pole spacing to eliminate typical drop out problems and to provide a wider field?
