Hey!
So i was thinking of changing the pickups of my LP style guitar.
Was looking at the Lambertone Cremas and the Lollar Imperials.
Im thinking of a dual humbucker guitar that has single coil sensibilities.
Something that would clean up when you strike the guitar softly and responds to volume and tone knob adjustments.
Anyone have thoughts on this, or experience with both pickups?
Thanks!

A treble bleed is essential if you want humbuckers to clean up when you roll down. I use a 120k/1n combo which is a happy medium with all kinds of buckers from alnico 2 vintagey to triple ceramic 500t pickups.

I have a set of Lollar Imperials... Really like them, they clean up Ok with treble bleed on the volume pot. Coil splits sound decent too.

Another fan of Lollar imperials here… I think they nail the vintage, lower-wound humbucker tone. And as above, they work well when the coils are split too.
I’ve not tried Lambertones.
