Hello. I was hoping to hear from someone that has experience with the Seymour Duncan Lipstick tube pickup for Strat bridge position.
Reason I ask is that I am in the process of building a Telecaster type Baritone guitar. One of the pickups that is near the bridge is the Seymour Duncan lipstick pickup for Strat bridge position.
As I stretch a string from nut to bridge saddles I see that my high and low E strings land over the place on lipstick pickup where the straight part of the tube begins to arc down into the end. The strings are over the pickup but, right at the very end of the straight part of the lipstick tube.
Does anyone know for certain if that part of the pickup is going to pick up the E string(s) in an adequate manner? I don't have a clear picture of just how far the inner magnet and coil extend into the ends of the pickup. I/m hoping the low and high E strings are still within the pickup's pickup field as I'm looking forward to how this pickup with play in with the others in the guitar. I have a Humbucker from Hell in the neck position, a Tele 5/2 bridge pup closest to the bridge, and the Lipstick pickup is somewhere between the Tele 5/2 and where a normal middle pickup would be (I have a strange art design thing where the middle pickup usually goes). Its a weird guitar but, something I have plans for and very much looking forward to.
Thank you for your feedback, appreciated!
Best,
