the Straight Truth About Pickups by Jason Lollar
This was more like the dragon chasing us–over the years it’s
been one of our most requested pickup designs. Of course,
we had to add our own twists, including sizing it to drop into
a standard humbucker route. A2 magnets, custom covers,
lot’s of attitude.
Starting with a ‘60s Country Gentleman as a benchmark, we
went after the classic rock-a-billy ‘bucker tone, adding some
“Lollar” along the way. The neck pickup is warm and buttery,
with a clear, present top end. The bridge pickup is fat and
honky, with a rich, defined low end. Combined, they sparkle
and spank with clarity and punch. They’ll cover everything
from “OZ” rock to “Nashville Super Pickers” to “Hot Rods and
Hot Babes…” Go Man, Go!
I’ve personally designed over a hundred different pickup models, including most of the vintage classics, some obscure works
of art from steel guitars to clavinets, and even a few of my own
designs that have never existed in the past.
