Frequently Asked Questions
They share a similar design philosophy, but Lollars generally have a slightly more refined and balanced frequency response than some earlier Seth Lover recreations.
No, the 7.6kΩ DC resistance ensures they’ll have enough output to drive an amp and retain a good level of clarity and sustain.
While they’ll work, the Alnico 2 magnet's softer response might not be ideal for extremely low tunings where a hotter, more aggressive pickup would shine.
