I highly recommend Jason Lollar's pickups! He wrote the book! Covers a lot of different types too. He's rewound pups for me, and I have his "Chicago Steel" on my Coodercaster.

Kevin,

I have 2 unused Vintage Vibe lap steel pickups posted in the "For Sale" "Amps and Accessories" section which will work for 7 or 8 strings.

If you're not after a vintage appearance, a 3.5" Alumitone Bass Bar pickup from Lace is hard to beat for tone and quietness.

Ron, so far, I've only recorded one song with it since installing it, as referenced in this thread:

It should give a good idea of the general character.
