Has anyone come across a source for chrome soapbars, like the old-style T-Bird pickups?
I know Lull has a set, but is there anyone else offering something similar?
Thanks! |

So good, in fact, I'm thinking about getting one to put in a p pup position on a new project. That said, I've never played a t-bird, so I don't know how the sound compares. Also, watch out for string spacing... My shorties are narrower then most full-scales. |

| | | | And his Epiphone sized vintage T-bird style pickups are REALLY excellent. Very fat and aggressive, and still very defined and non-muddy (not "hifi" clear, though, but excellent vintage vibe usable in any modern-or vintage!-appplication). Expect these to be equally astounding, if they are the same pickups with different sized covers. |
