how are the different steel guitar pus in comparison to each other?
and what kind would one prefer for a late sho bud ldg, (has to fit of course, too) to produce a thick and warm tone without shrill or thin highs when its amplified with an all tube amp? (vibrosonic)
the stock sounds a bit to thin to my ears (especially with the super honest and non compressing vibrosonic)
any suggestions?
cheers
guido

jonathan,
thanks for this link!!
you're right and i'm surprised, that the differencs is that subtle!
i can slightly hear a difference from the humbuckers to the truetone! but, that's what i like best!
the next question will be, would this pu sound better than the stock single coil in my guitar? (mid 80's pot metal ldg)
and sounds like i described in my first thread??

You're not going to change much of the voice of that late model potmetal top finger shobud; but the best one I've put in was a truetone wound to 18,000 ohms.

Yes SIR; In a big way, it will help.
That is the very first thing that resonates when you set the string in motion...

Hello Ricky,
You are rather knowlegeable on Sho-Buds obviously. I got one for you. I have a Super-Pro D10 with what appear to be original pickups wound on both necks to 24K ohms. Sounds great and very hot pickups. I asked Dwane Marrs and he never heard of them. A Sho-Bud longtime dealer in Florida said Jimmy Webb was experimenting with 24K ohm pickups. I wouldn't give these up for a kings ransom. People can't believe the tone and it's not a heavy Curly Chalker fat tone. Just rich with great highs.. Appreciate your input on this.
Regards,
Wayne Wallett
