Lollar pickups announce the release of a new single coil model, designed to fit into a standard Telecaster-style bridge route. The B.S. bridge pickup offers a unique single coil sound, while sharing some of the tonal characteristics of Lollar’s acclaimed Charlie Christian pickups. Jason Lollar, the company’s founder, explains. “We’ve had so many players rave about our Charlie Christian Tele neck pickup, I thought it would be fun to do a version for a Tele bridge. I used ceramic bar magnets, and a nickel plated blade pole piece. I wanted to keep some twang, but make it bigger. It sounds really fat and clear, with loads of sustain”.
“The B.S. has comparable output to an Imperial humbucker, with great string definition and dynamics. It really matches beautifully with our Charlie Christian for Tele neck pickup. It’s a direct replacement for most Tele-style bridge pickups, and is available in black, white, tortoise or white pearl.
