I was surprised when he mentioned it has double humbuckers, because you only see one at the nut. But if you look closely you can see the pole pieces for the neck humbucker sticking up through the fretboard between the 16th-18th frets. Very interesting. It has a very mid-rangey hollow-body archtop sound. This is like the Gretsch 6120 of lap steels.
And in fact you can see those pole pieces sticking WAY up at more level camera angles.David Doggett wrote:.................if you look closely you can see the pole pieces for the neck humbucker sticking up through the fretboard between the 16th-18th frets...................It has a very mid-rangey hollow-body archtop sound...................
and re: the middy sound, if that is indeed an onboard graphic eq, it appears to be accentuating this timbral signature.
Great clip. I've been sleeping through any discussions of Cole Clark. Time to google & catch up.
