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!

Do yourself a favour and buy some AMAZING local pickups: https://mrglynspickups.com/mr-glyns-pic ... ucker-set/

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.

Glyn includes a treble bleed setup with all his pickup sets

...50's wiring works well too, I find.

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.

Which guitar do you have them in? The white Ash custom?

Or 50's wiring.

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.
