These Imperial Set CHs from Lollar are seriously impressive – they nail that classic PAF vibe with a modern polish. The Alnico 2 neck is dreamy for smooth leads, while the bridge pickup cuts through beautifully. If you’re chasing that vintage tone for rock, blues, or classic country, and appreciate a balanced, articulate sound, these are a fantastic choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
They aim to replicate the character, but modern construction allows for a more even frequency response and improved consistency compared to the often-flawed originals.
Absolutely, the standard spacing is compatible with most tremolo systems, and the vintage output won't cause any issues with tuning stability.
These are not potted, allowing for more resonance and 'air' in the tone; potting is possible but would significantly alter the sound and isn't generally recommended for Lollar pickups.
