The Blues Saraceno Trembucker Appreciation Thread....

MBreinin · Feb 24, 2006

Just wanted to give all of us guys that have Saraceno Trembuckers a chance to brag about how great they are. I have had mine now since the spring, due to the recommendations from this board, and I still think it is a killer pickup that is way overlooked. Very similar in tone to my Hybrid Custom/'59, but a tad bit brighter (to my ears at least). Awesome for pinch harmonics, very warm, very responsive. Just an all around killer pickup.

Definitely a pickup that should be checked out.

Interesting that you compare it to the 59/Custom Hybrid... when I tried the "Blues" I thought it sounded great with an even frequency response... similar to the EVH, but a little sterile.
The Hybrid has that same even frequency response, but kicks it up a notch with the killer harmonics and a quality I can only describe as "strength"

Overlooked? Hm: perhaps the name is too difficult? I know what "Blues" is, but what does "Saraceno" stand for?
