time to think...question about pickupz...take a look not a typical question

st.bede · 03-09-2008, 10:08 PM

I want to put a:

Lollar Charlie Christian Archtop Pickup (38-gauge wire, large coil like the originals. Big round tone retaining clear top end. Uses modern Alnico 5 magnets.) in the neck position

and a p90 in the bridge in a

korina bodied guitar (like a 58 flying V)

is this a good idea.....your thoughts...etc

also what would happen if I threw in a cool rails in the mid position like a PRS swamp ash special....

help...thanks

no replies....why?????? you guys are genius....

How about just asking Lollar directly? It's
doubtful that many players know what this...

...sounds like.

thanks big john...I still hope that someone has some thoughts...no matter how limited

isn't that pickup selection you described on John Lennon's les paul junior ?

st.bede · 03-11-2008, 01:56 PM

I think so... I am not sure about th p90....also the korina would be different....thoughts about Lennon's tone, anyone?

I thought he only used it live...

I don't really think much about his tone, he was really a songwriter.
like the quote on the gibson site, 'I'm just a rythmer, you know'

He got some nice sounds out of those rickenbackers, though.

Worth a shot.....probably an original sounding combo....I haven't heard the Charlie Christian Archtop Pickup...but it'd probably be interesting at least.....
