Yep, my 137 has a rippin' Lollar in it.

Has anyone else tried a Fryette PowerStation? Take the 100w behemoths, crank them into the sweet spot and re-amp to manage the volume. There’s more than one way to get the job done.

Thankfully I don't have any volume problems with my neighbors, but when I do play out, I usually play one of these two 100-watters. For the type of bands that I play with (mostly blues, funk, fusion), it's easy enough to keep the volume in check with the rest of the guys. That isn't to say that I don't love smaller amps, though, for I do own a few.

That's some intricate work! Nice!

Nice work with an Eagle. Lots more like this on his channel.

Just picked this up It’s not a RAT circuit. It’s a dual stage distortion/fuzz. I’ll post a clip soon!!! https://www.daredevilpedals.com/shop-1/p/the-chicago-rat?utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer_notification

They have finished the promo. I got the email from them today.

Especially on a woman!!

That’s what she said.

Ok I’ll go. My wife doesn’t shave her legs.

Good deal if you have a child that wants to learn a guitar!

Typically (but not always!) the pickups installed are identified on the label. However this does inspire me to pull out my H137 tonight too. It's been neglected as of late.

I noticed that they have a really nice compression to them. I have a C&W gig tomorrow night and will use the H-137. It's a great guitar for grit but it can sound almost Tele like when used with a twin or deluxe.

wow!! That is pretty dang cool! So the 6 posted here, plus the 4 you guys bought, make up the 10 total? and congratulations!

I got three of them. One of those I gave to my grandson. Gretsch and Randy had a charity auction years ago. A friend of mine tipped me off to the event. He got one. I put bids on 3 and got them all. They are essentially acoustic Super Eagles with floating pups. Together we got the first 4 Synchromatics. I kept two blondes and had a single coil pickup put into a Heritage floating casing made by one of the Heritage guys.

Shucks

Agreed. I don't doubt the pickups being Seth Lovers or not. I'm also confident they are genuine Duncans. Counterfeits don't sound as good as these do. I think one is regular after market production line and the other is OEM. Normal spec for the bridge is 8.1 - 8.3, so this one is still within the +/- 5% tolerance range.

Doesn't seem wrong for Seth Lovers. They're usually around 8k ish. I can't remember if they have the same impedance bridge and neck, or slightly more winds on the bridge. I was thinking they were the same. They're in the ballpark anyway. The original PAF were the same, neck or bridge.

That clear tubing over the braid might be magnifying it, hard to tell IMO For the record I just checked some other PAF style pups I have: JS Moore: 7.3k neck, 7.8k bridge Throbak Mick Taylor: 8.3k neck, 8.0k bridge SD's according to that chart: Seth Lover 7.2k neck, 8.1k bridge alnico ii pro is 7.6k neck, 7.85k bridge

If the lead was too short and used in a different installation, a new one could be attached and any broken wires inside removed. If you look at the braiding, at least in the pic shown, the braiding appears larger than the other

Didn’t notice that before. Now that I look closer I think you might be right. Whatever the reason for it, still sounds amazing.

It appears the pup described as being a bridge Seth Lover has been opened and resoldered

Yes was going to reply the same. Lollar makes great pickups!

The original 50's Gibson pups weren't sorted by neck/bridge were they? I thought they just grabbed pups out of the bin & neck/bridge were arbitrary, when they were assembled
