Re: Friend Of Mine Swears By The "Lollar" Pickups!
i just recently tried a set of his tweed (is that right?) strat pups. seemed like a pretty underwound pup set, not bad but not my thing. the neck was chimey and sounded really nice but the set as a whole didnt do much for me. the bridge didnt seem like it was much if any hotter than the other pups so what sounded bright and clean in the neck sounded down right thin and weak in the bridge. the notch positions were really quacky but still a little weak and thin.
the middle pup by itself wasnt bad, nice character to the tone and i like my middle pups to be thinner and brighter than the rest so i can always get a gain drop by going there. if i was going to get a set of lollar strat pups i might use the tweed middle pup but the neck coulda been a little hotter and the bridge was way too underwound for my taste. not sure what the resistance of these pups were but they sure sounded like they were under 6k.
im sure he must make hotter models and im not sure where these fit in his line, hopefully they are the weakest cause i cant imagine any one wanting anything weaker.
the only other lollar pup ive heard was a dog ear p90 in the bridge of a lp jr and it sounded great. dude was only playing slide on it but it was a really nice tone thru the blonde bassman he was using
